by So it turns out that writing is not only fun, but useful! One of the conductors I spoke to for my article on ballet conducting just wrote this to me: “As a result of our talk, you spurred me on to initiate the organization of a ballet conducting assistantship at my university. I have a meeting this Friday with our Dean and hope that he will approve this idea.” Who knew?

Hello, That’s terrific news! I am always happy to read about anything that promotes ballet/dance awareness. So many people who are otherwise art lovers, whether of painting, music, opera, have a limited knowledge of dance. Avanti!

Congratulations on all the nice articles you have been doing lately. Are you aware of the International Guild of Musicians in Dance? We especially liked your piece on conducting.–Katherine Teck (author of 4 books on musical collaboration for the dance–go to amazon for info.) Very best wishes.
