Jane and Alison

April 25, 2014 By shuchen

#TBT The 1st picture is Jane Rabinovitz and Alison Grant from the BalletNova Center for Dance’s 2009 Year End Technique Demonstration Performance… I taught them when they were 12 years old studying at BalletNova all the way through their graduation from high school. Now years later we are so fortunate to have these two very talented, fun ladies as Gin Dance Company dancers. Dance brought us back together… I’m so happy that I got to work with them again. They will be performing excerpts from GDC’s ‘The Teller’ next weekend at BalletNova’s Spring Concert!! It’s so exciting and special!! Come join us!!

A Year Ago Today…

March 27, 2014 By shuchen

March 27, 2013, a year ago today, a beautiful sunny day just like today… We presented Gin Dance Company’s ‘Deep eMotion’ production at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and we also celebrated our beautiful dancer Lindsay Benson Garrett’s birthday. It was a true double happiness. What a very special day for all of us at GDC. Today as we celebrate Lindsay’s birthday, we remember the fond memories we all shared one year ago today.
