Abstract

In October 2002, the leader of the Latin Section from BYU Living Legends asked me to choreograph a new Paraguayan dance for their upcoming season. After accepting the request I met personally with Living Legends’ former director Janelle Christensen to introduce myself and to find out what expectations she had of me and of the dance.
