Master Class in Iowa Re-Cap
Sabrina Schmitt is the vibrant and lively owner of Expressions Dance Studio of West Union, Iowa. A busy young dance professional herself, Miss Sabrina amazingly runs four locations in four separate towns! Anywho, Sabrina Schmitt contacted Joffrey Ballet School and I was matched with her fabulous dance studio to come teach a three-hour Master Class workshop in Jazz. Well, what an honor! The students at Expressions Dance Studio were so wonderful, so attentive, so nice, so passionate. I had a blast and loved every minute of it! I was so moved by their passion that I stayed a little extra longer to watch and help shape-up their competition solos and duets. Many of the young dancers choreographed their numbers by themselves. I was impressed!
Look, the hospitality was so fabulous that I got presented with this fabulous sign!!!!
Anywho, Miss Sabrina is the bomb! I gotta commend her dedication. She has the energy of the Energizer Bunny to run up and down the county roads from school to school teaching dance, preparing competition routines, and booking community performances for her students like the State Fair. She’s doing great work (and I say “the most important work”) by providing performance opportunities for her students, let alone introducing her students AND her community to the art of dance in an area quite remote from the type of dance opportunities one would find in a big city including the opportunity to even see dance professionally performed. Kudos to Sabrina! You Rock, Gurl!!!!

Cool Indian Costume Photo from Indian Wedding Performance
Danced at an Indian wedding last night. I choreographed a new routine for Chez-zam Event Group. We had to learn the routine in the morning and we performed it that night. Nobody took a video and we were in such a rush, I never bothered to video tape the rehearsal!!!!! Ugggh…..
Liked my costume, though.
