Finis Jhung - Billy Ballet Trainer

Post by ERinVA »

I think it is probably time Finis Jhung got his own thread on here, considering the work he does for the US productions.

Here's a good article about him in Dance Magazine's January issue.

CBS This Morning did a story on Finis this morning -- about how at age 75 he continues a very busy schedule of working with ballet students of all ages. The video includes some comments and footage of Joseph Harrington, who continues to work with Finis:
