“Don’t Just Reach For The Stars . . . Talk, Meet &
Dance With Them!”
Exceeding Expectations!It was totally amazing! Both classes we took were fabulous with amazing teachers. We had
so much fun, were super sweaty by the end and continued doing the combinations from the
classes at different opportunities (bus stops, airport, etc.) Both shows were spectacular! Rock of Ages was really fun with great music and phenomenal
performers. Afterwards, Josh Sassanella, our guest artist and director of our ROCK OF
AGES Meet The Artist Dance Workshop, took us backstage to meet Constantine and go on
set - it was a great opportunity and we were certainly star struck!The ODC performance was seriously the best professional dance performance I have ever
attended. The level of technique and training of the dancers was rivaled by the perfection
of the choreography. I’m still not sure my students even really understand what they were
privileged enough to experience... San Francisco is beautiful with such a diverse culture and
our tour guide helped to open my students eyes to the city and to the variety of life outside
of Chandler, AZ... I know it may all sound super-rosy, but we really had the best tour I’ve
been on to date and can’t imagine how it could have been any better!Jacque Genung-Koch, M. Ed.Basha Dance Program DirectorKinesis Dance CompanyChandler, AZ

“Don’t Just Reach For The Stars . . . Talk, Meet &
Dance With Them!”
Exceeding Expectations!It was totally amazing! Both classes we took were fabulous with amazing teachers. We had
so much fun, were super sweaty by the end and continued doing the combinations from the
classes at different opportunities (bus stops, airport, etc.) Both shows were spectacular! Rock of Ages was really fun with great music and phenomenal
performers. Afterwards, Josh Sassanella, our guest artist and director of our ROCK OF
AGES Meet The Artist Dance Workshop, took us backstage to meet Constantine and go on
set - it was a great opportunity and we were certainly star struck!The ODC performance was seriously the best professional dance performance I have ever
attended. The level of technique and training of the dancers was rivaled by the perfection
of the choreography. I’m still not sure my students even really understand what they were
privileged enough to experience... San Francisco is beautiful with such a diverse culture and
our tour guide helped to open my students eyes to the city and to the variety of life outside
of Chandler, AZ... I know it may all sound super-rosy, but we really had the best tour I’ve
been on to date and can’t imagine how it could have been any better!Jacque Genung-Koch, M. Ed.Basha Dance Program DirectorKinesis Dance CompanyChandler, AZ
