quite an interesting article about John Carrafa - especially if you are interested in background info on musicals, but also about movie actors:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Carrafa, who was a leading dancer with Twyla Tharp's company from 1978 to 1986, continued: "When actors see me coming, they freak out immediately. Their first line to me is always: 'You know, I'm not really a dancer. I don't really dance.' <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR> <A HREF="http://www.iht.com:80/articles/5419.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.iht.com:80/articles/5419.htm</A>

Here is a connection to a previous thread - and I believe it is on the same subject about the same coach:<P><A HREF="http://www.criticaldance.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000325.html" TARGET=_blank>When An Actor Must Dance</A><P>

this appears to be the very same story in a different paper - but 'mine' doesn't have a pcture, so i will close this thread. thanks, basheva.
