I was fortunate to have so many talented dancers to work with during the creation of Cinderella.

There is a very special bond that developes between a choreographer and the dancers he works with. The visions of the choreographer rest solely in the ability of the dancer to transform dreams and thoughts into reality, into something an audience can watch, enjoy and appreciate.

To work with people who still beleive in the wonder of the art form, in the mystery of the human soul was truly a most rewarding experience.
