Goodbye February......You had a lot of heart! And now comes the only month that "supports" dance, March. It has an "arch" in it. The arch of the foot is so important to dancers. This month let's all work on our arches....so important for the extension of line, for powerful jumps, etc.

March 1st I can contact all the San Francisco dance schools for their spring schedule. We are looking forward to a "best ever" (if possible) Mercerart Annual San Francisco Dance Tour. I'll let everyone know what is available, even if you are not going with us this time. You can live & dance vicariously.

This month we will get a lot of choreography done toward the Spring Concert. There will be some class time changes and some extra rehearsals; so keep posted. I want to devote the time after Spring break to technique and perfecting the dances. Remember (as the song lyrics go)...You were meant for me, and I was meant for you.

With love, as ever...................Camille

February 17th (just 5 months to my birthday). I hope you have enjoyed watching the Olympic figure skaters. It is wonderful to see how dance has blended into their routines. It is refreshing to see the different body types and personalities.....continuing evidence that anyone can do anything that they make up their mind to accomplish.

MOVING thru life is wonderful. Keep on dancing!

I'm in the process of selecting the music for the Spring Concert. Something for everyone. I'm so glad that the ballet classes enjoyed and profited from the floor barre. Keep those lessons in mind. Onward....upward.

Now she is teaching at her own studio ( with 3 other Broadway dancers) in Conn. NOW FOR THE BIG NEWS!! She will be here this summer to teach at Mercerart. She will teach a combo of Fosse, Robbins & her own choreography. .....also combos of choreography from all the shows that she has done, WOW!!
