From Taiwan to the U.S. …
July 14, 2014 By
Years ago, I was freshman in college and was studying dance in Miami. I went home to spend the summer with family in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I went back to my high school, Tsoying High School and met Shari there. She was teaching and choreographing for the students. I was so fortunate to take her classes everyday for the month in Taiwan. I learned and loved her class so much that I wrote her a letter when I got back to the U.S. I was so inspired by her. She gave amazing classes and she was patience, energetic, and loving. We lost contact for years. I can’t believe when I saw her again at Arlington Center For Dance which is now BalletNova Center for Dance a few summers ago. It turns out Nancie, Artistic Director of BalletNova, was used to dance with Shari and her husband David in Dulles Ballet. Nancie brought both of them to the school as guest teachers for the Summer Intensive Ballet Workshop. I was so thrilled to see them!! Nancie brought them here again this year. This past Friday (July 11, 2014) was their last day in DC. Carmen who is the faculty of BalletNova was also danced together with Shari and David and invited all of us to her home for dinner. It was such a special evening! We had too much fun chatting away… family, kids, house, food, and of course, most of time we talked about Dance! We all enjoyed so much catching up. Thank you for the delicious dinner and sharing your warm and charming home with us, Carmen!!
