I must say her breathing technique and how it translates to working and connecting with an audience has made a difference in my performing, and that goes beyond dance. A couple of weeks after that workshop I auditioned for a musical and got a part that I probably shouldn't have, but keeping her instruction in mind helped me nail the audition.
I love her dancing though I've only seen her perform a couple of times. I think she should visit her folks more. :-)

She went through the breathing technique with me. I've been practicing it but haven't had occasion to use it yet, we'll see after Saturday how it goes!
She was spot on with her observations of my technique and really hepled me to identify and (more importantly, fix) the areas that I've been struggling with.
I've been trying to blog about the private lesson, but it keeps getting eaten by cyper space, four time so far!
She is a warm, generous teacher who worked hard at conveying what she wanted me to learn.
She will be teaching/performing at the conference in Toronto, you lucky Canadians!
