Jennifer Kelly writes:
Notes for teachers on the dances in the Anniversary Suite.
As I devised these dances I had a particular teaching point in mind for each of them.
These teaching notes can be found at http://rscds-sf.org/resources/dances/Anniversay%20Suite%20Notes.pdf
The notes for the dance say it was devised “to honor the 40th Anniversary of the San Francisco Branch and the work of all those who helped in reaching this milestone”.
