The librarian and Shereen will provide stories that evening and Shereen will lead everyone in a movement lesson based on the stories for the evening. All ages are welcome! Hope to see you all there!

Mannsville Free Library Workshop

This week Shereen, Tricia, and Teacher's asst., Tani Currier, led students in a dance workshop made possible through a grant with New York State Council for the Arts Decentralization Project. The grant allowed students to take classes for free. Classes offered were in hip hop and modern dance. Attendees learned 4 "mini-dances" and had an informal showing for friends and family on Thursday night. The photo shows students before their big night! Everyone had a great night and we thank Mary Snyder and the Mannsville Free Library for inviting us to be a part of this event. Once again we see how the arts benefits communities. These kids were all given a safe and fun outlet and activity for the week! We worked Mon-Wed. 11-1 and Thursday night's show was at 5:15 with refreshments afterwards. Everyone worked hard and did a great job!! We are looking forward to next year's visit when we hope to produce a home-grown mini-musical! Thanks again to Mannsville Free Library!

Welcome! New Faculty, Jessica Renzi

In Motion is proud and excited to announce the addition of Jessica Lynch Renzi to its staff. Jessica is thrilled to be joining the staff at In Motion. A graduate of the University of Virginia with a BA in Theater, she began her formal ballet training at the age of 10 with Ballet Memphis. She has been seen in both their junior and professional companies, including the role of Clara in "The Nutcracker" which was shown on television for three years. Jessica has studied with Alexei Moskalenko of the Bolshoi Ballet and Nora Curran of Chicago at the American school of Russian Ballet. At 16, she attended the prestigious Boston Ballet Summer Dance program and the following year attended the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Summer Dance program, which only accepted 100 students nationwide. In 2000 Jessica moved New York City to pursue a career in acting and was seen in the ensemble of the world famous Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular and shows at PSNBC. In 2003 she went on to win the title of Miss New York and competed on national television in the Miss America pageant. Jessica is married to Watertown attorney David Renzi and they have one son, Eugene Nicholas. They are expecting their second son this September.
