She is also well known in San Diego, teaching at several educational institutions including SCPA(School of Creative and Performing Arts)  http://www.sandi.net/scpa and  UCSD(University of San Diego) http://theatre.ucsd.edu/people/faculty/SandraFosterKing/   She is an intensely creative artist-woman. Her choreography weaves a motor visual tapestry-narrative that reaches into one's soul.  Yet, when it appears in dancer's movements, her humor will tap the shoulder in impish glee or saunter-swag smirk its flow-steps in corners of one's eye. She gives when she creates, expressing her God-gift. Her students absorb this gift and open palms to others. Here is a recent dance concert press release from national dance maven and my friend Sandra-Foster King: This will be a...
