2006 NSAL Master Class in Dance


As part of the 2006 dance competition, chapter winners took classes in ballet, modern and jazz. Above, Brian Palmer leads the group.




Brian Palmer, who led the dance classes that were part of the competition, is an assistant professor of dance and chair of the Division of Theatre and Dance at Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Florida.



The morning after the competition, the young dancers prepare to participate in a master class as the audience members settle into their seats. The class consisted not only of dancing, but of a lecture on José Limon's work by Daniel Lewis, a judge for the NSAL competition. Lewis is widely known for his association with the work of José Limon.
