We're again saddened by how many artists the world has recently lost.
Just learning about a warm, delightful performer who brightened the world throughout her lifetime of entertainment, Dorothy Kloss has passed. She was a joyful soul whom we met when she took Luigi's Style classes at Luigi's Jazz Centre with her longtime performing partner Ken Prescott! She is honored in the Guinness World Records for continuing to perform and listed as the world's oldest showgirl!
Our deep condolences go out to Ken and her family.

Luigi's Jazz Centre thanks the Fini Dance Festival for inviting us to serve on its faculty for their international dancers at the Alvin Ailey School. This event happened last weekend. Most of the 71 students were from Italy, some from other countries, and all were over the age of fifteen.
Many of the dancers were familiar with the Luigi exercises but they had not experienced his authentic choreographies!
They surprised me and my assistant Julia Korotchenko with big, warm, heartfelt applause during the combo and after!

I am grateful to have worked again with Antonio Fini, Michael Mao and Julia!
Mille, mille, mille grazie to my mentor Luigi for reminding me of our joyful classes in Amalfi.
