Members of Jillian’s Dance Arts Isabella Bonnici, Oneonta, Sopjia Bonici, Oneonta, Morgan Newan, Unatego, Matraca Harman, Sidney, Christina Heegan, Oneonta,Mary Kate Catella, Oneonta, Cassidy Fetterman, Unatego, and Megan Catella, watch as Stanley Glover, Chicago, preforms his own interpretive dance. Glover was one of the top 20 on the 11th season of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Studio owner Jillian Skidmore had met Glover during the Dance America competition and the two became friends and kept in touch over social media. Eventually Glover suggested the idea of teaching a workshop at her studio and Jillian accepted. So, this evening, after a ballet warm up, Stanley, Jillian and the girls worked on routine incorporating modern, jazz and contemporary dance styles. (Ian Austin/ allotsego.com)
