Fabio Mechetti and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra provided the music for the Scott Jones Dancers in the Target-sponsored Family Series Concert "Let's Dance" performed at the Times Union Center January 11, 2009.
It was a really neat show.  The Symphony is wonderful and having to dance to classical music for hip-hop, tap, tumbling, and clogging is certainly not an easy task.  A few co-workers of mine happened to be in the audience, and the pictures are all over the office now.  And hooray for my ugly mug being on the T-U website!  ;D

I wish this would've gotten greater advertisement.  Shows like this are a really neat way to get more people in to see the Symphony than might normally would.  The JSO is truly a gem and needs to be pushed more than it is.

If there are more shows along these lines, I *highly* recommend everyone checking it out.

Yeah, the JSO is a terrific symphony and certainly should be a source of civic pride, regardless of one's interest in classical music.

Are you the guy dancing, Doc?

I have also attended a few JSO shows.  I have never thought of myself as a Symphony kind of guy... but I have enjoyed every concert I have been to.  Even met Fabio M. following one of the shows.  Who were you dancing with Doc?

She's a fellow instructor at Scott Jones, who teaches clogging along with me as well as Ballet.  She's also a member of this past year's Roar.  Truly an awesome and unpretentious woman.
