Orlando Aerial Arts to Perform at A Love Affair to Honor Joan Miller

We are so excited that the lovely and talented Jennifer Pierce of Orlando Aerial Arts will be performing at A Love Affair. Jennifer met and worked with Ms. Joan Miller while she was in high school at Dreyfoos School of the Arts and under the direction of Penni Greenly as a student and company member at Southern Dance Theatre.  Penni and Ms. Julie Bravata sent Jennifer to Palm Beach Ballet Center to receive private coaching from Ms. Joan on ballet Variations.

Jennifer also performed with Ms. Joan’s performance company in A Christmas Carol and as a soloist in a Giordano Jazz production for a private event. Ms. Joan simply lit up a room when instructing. Her approach was warm and encouraging, but demanding of your personal best.

No stone was ever left unturned when coaching a variation. From the placement of your carriage to the approach of how to walk out of stage, Ms. Joan brought out the best in every individual who opened up their heart and mind to the art of dance.
