	Passing on skills and inspiration in a practical, playful and meaningful way.
Mentoring An exciting new development. Jasmine was invited by DanceConnect at Dance City in Newcastle at the request of a number of local artists to work as their mentor. Nick Whitehouse, Project manager wrote : "The feedback from the participants in the workshop was wonderful....'thought provoking'. 'stimulating' and 'challenging' were oft used phrases, above all it seemed they were left with the utmost respect for one of the country's finest practitioners" Photograph - Chris Kelly
