Testimonials

Dear Jim,
Just a quick note to say thanks. Folk dancing with you was a perfect finale for a great day at Drew. The students, folks from the community, and I had a superb time as I knew we would. I rarely feel joyful at Drew, though I like my job very much. Dancing with you and the students was indeed joyful and therefore very special to me. Several students made it a point to tell me how much they enjoyed dancing with you.
I have thought for quite awhile that you have a rare gift—or set of gifts—that not only entertain and educate, but make people feel better and less self-conscious. Thanks for sharing your gift with us at Drew University.
Fred Curtis, Professor of Economics

Mad Shoe Moments
What is a mad shoe moment?
Spirit descends,
Higher forces fill your mind with awesome power:
Wonder enlarges you,
Light shines from your eyes,
Drunk with spirit, you jump, run wild,
Dancing with ecstatic happiness,
Crazy for the divine madness that
Floods your being:
That is a Mad Shoe Moment.
