"In
my opinion, a workshop featuring Jazz for Ballet dancers
would be a very worthwhile project. Ms. Simone
is an excellent jazz
teacher with considerable experience. At her summer classes
at Marin Ballet, she gave
a valuable and enjoyable session
to the young ballet trainees. It is important for dancers
to have as wide a
vocabulary as possible, and jazz makes a
wonderful
counterpart to classical movements and rhythms.
I can recommend
Ms. Simone's Jazz Workshop as a step in the right direction." -
