“This letter comes with warm appreciation for all the wonderful work you did in our Dance Division. You are a dynamo and the students and faculty alike benefited greatly from the artistry and dedication you consistently displayed. Thank you for bringing such beautiful work to us, and for inspiring our students.”
Jill Beck, Chair, Division of Dance, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX

"Your candescent spirits arrived in our cold, sleepy town and set thirty hearts ablaze. Your passion for creative movement helped us to reach deep inside ourselves and release the playfulness we suppress in our everyday lives. Your quest for beauty in ordinary people and surroundings changed the way our eyes view the world in which we live. Your gentle encouragement touched our souls. Thank you for sharing your world with us. You truly changed me, and you gave Daniel (my son) an experience he will remember forever.”
Letter from a community cast member for Dream Child Moving, Sheboygan
