I'm posting this question for a friend (for those of you who know and are wondering why on earth <I>I</I> would start such a topic). . . .<BR>Does anyone know the name of a Christian touring dance company in Jackson, MS.? My friend thinks the director is named Katherine Thibodeaux. Any info will be greatly appreciated.<P>------------------<BR>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<BR>Jeffrey E.

Yes, Ballet Magnificat is located in Jackson, Mississippi, home of the International Ballet Competition. Jackson is located approximately 2.5 hours from my studio. I have had students attend their summer workshops and have seen the company perform a few times. They do tour extensively throughout the nation. Kathy Thibodeaux founded the company shortly after winning the silver medal in Jackson. I have not seen them perform in a while, but they were very good the last time I saw them.<BR>
