So Touched by Jim…

May 7, 2013 By shuchen

We’re so touched by the letter we received from someone who attended our performance on Saturday evening…”I was able to see the Spring Concert this past Saturday night. “The Core,” was absolutely the highlight. What a brilliant, gripping piece!

Candy described it best: “mesmerizing.” I came away still thinking about the fluidity and energy of the piece and the moving and poignant way you explore relationships. From our own center we reach out to others, and indeed, are connected.

Thank you for a great gift. I have such admiration for all your work and look forward to seeing more.

Your company is splendid, and it was such a pleasure to see you dance. – Jim”

Thank you Jim, for the wonderful feedback.

Thank You, My Dear Friend!

‘Notes on Spring’, what a fun, sweet, elegant, and delightful dance choreographed by a very closed friend of mine, Constance Walsh. I was so fortunate to work with her and a group of young and talented dancers from BalletNova. It was the closing for BalletNova’s ‘Swan Lake Act II & Other works’ production last weekend. What a perfect way to end the show!

GDC Guest Performed at BalletNova’s ‘Swan Lake Act II & Other Works’

May 7, 2013 By shuchen

This past weekend Gin Dance Company had the privilege of performing at BalletNova’s ‘Swan Lake Act II & Other Works’ production at Thomas Jefferson Theater. Every night, right before the show we followed BalletNova’s tradition gathering together in the Green Room. We all held hands together and Kathy Fredgren gave us a moving speech to inspire us to dance our hearts out on the stage… and the magical speech from Mrs. Fredgren worked… The performances were well received. Congratulations to Artistic Director of BalletNova, Nancie Woods. ‘Swan Lake Act II’ was amazingly beautiful! Congratulations to Constance Walsh. Her ‘Notes on Spring’ was so sweet and delightful. Big Thanks to GDC dancers Michelle Conroy, Rachel Forman, Lindsay Garrett, and Emily Herren for the strong and inspiring performance of ‘The Core’. Thank you to all those who came to our performances. It was so good to see you all!
