Nutmeg
dancers perform for the Pope
57,000 spectators at Yankee Stadium watched as 36 Nutmeg dancers from
levels AA1 & 2 performed in the Concert of Hope preceding the Mass celebrated
by Pope Benedict XVI on April 20th.
Brian Simerson of Momix assisted production director Dan Ezralow (a former student
of Joan Kunsch at SUNY-Binghamton) in the conception and realization of this
tremendous project.
Transported, fed, and guided through rehearsal and the event itself, Nutmeg is
deeply honored to have been chosen to participate. The group was chaperoned by
Victoria Mazzarelli (also a performer), Andrea Meharg, Jeanne Pedane, Lisa Snyder
and Joan Kunsch. The entire group attended the Pontifical Mass.

Dear Ms. Dante,
I'm writing to express our appreciation for the training
and community that our son, Jack Kreeger, is experiencing at the Nutmeg
Ballet. We have never known him to be happier. We know that he is working
very hard and it is wonderful to hear the intensity of joy and commitment
in his voice when he telephones us each day. We are looking forward to
the performances next month. Sincerely, Lisa and Todd Kreeger
