Letters & E-mails

Dear Jo,

I want to thank you for taking time to read my article [that] I sent you about Stamford Center for the Arts Dancefest, and putting pictures of my dancers in your magazine (April 2006). However, I felt that the second paragraph of your description was inaccurate.

The article I submitted was about the camaraderie and friendships that develop among the twenty studio owners and their dancers in a week-long program that promotes education, creativity, and performance in a non-competitive environment. The article I wrote was in celebration of a successful dance festival that Carol Bryan created out of love and a sense of bringing diverse studios together.

I hope you will print this letter so that my wonderful and talented colleagues will know that my intention of the art-icle was to show how studios can come together and give their students a wonderful experience without going to competition. Unfortunately, the two paragraphs you edited and printed gave the impression that I submitted a press release for my studio.

With all best wishes,

Nancy Solomon

Hi Gilda [Morigi],

I just wanted to drop you a short e-mail to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your article on Nancy King in the latest issue of Dancer. She is a good friend of mine for many years and was very kind to me when I first started teaching. The article was wonderful and I am sure that Nancy really appreciated it. She is a nice woman and has an impressive family. Hope all is well with you!

Sending warm regards,

Donna Farinella
