Review for San Diego Dance Theatre, San Diego, CA, USA
Jean Isaacs San Diego Dance Theater has a long term track record of student scholarship, emerging choreographer mentorship, and community accessible dance theater. I first became involved with the SDDT in 1999 as a student and volunteer. Jean Isaacs displayed a generosity to all San Diego artists and groups that I found unmatched within the community. An immensely talented teacher and choreographer, Jean also found time to support the arts community as a whole without proprietorship or inclusiveness; her commitment and generosity inspired me as well as her strong work ethic. For this reason, with a full schedule, I made time to donate my skills in any way I could over the years. The company follows her lead, giving back in multiple ways as teachers and performers. I have volunteered my time with various youth groups as a videographer and saw her SDDT company members in action working with the kids at King Chavez and High Tech High. The positive relationship between these SDDT teachers and the youth will resonate for years to come, benefiting San Diego in priceless ways for the family and community good.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
SDDT school programs, over a decade access to the theater for young and senior audience members through Trolley Dances and through artist mentorship and scholarship.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
wish for them to have a greater financial base to become even more visible within San Diego County. SDDT offers such accomplished and unique programs that i wish everyone could experience such art, which we need to balance our lives mentally, emotionally and physically. I also wish we had the means to grow even more within the inner city.
