I agree.SENT BY^Xerox Telecopier 7021 10-11-95 !3:53 BALDYQA/SANDCASTLE- 2136566556;# 2 certain passages of music, Finally, before I go into rehearsals with the cast, I work out each step, position, and formation. If a particular section is based on techniqxie such as Samba, Tango, Western, etc., I must master the stjyle of technique before I begin to choreograph. T believe different dance styles are like different languages. One mu$t not attempt to "write" in a language until one has learnbd its vocabulary* 4. I have been choreographing and staging Revue shows, movies, television shows, Broadway musicals, and acts for stars for the past 3 5 years. It would be impossible for me to remember everything* I will try to list a few highlights. 1. Directed and choreographed the 80th anniversary of the "Casino de Paris" in Paris. 2. Directed and choreographed the 100th Anniversary of the "Foifes-Bergere" in Paris* 3. Presented my work in a "Command Performance" for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth TT in London. 4. Staged and choreographed the original Broadway musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", 5. Created the longest running show in the history of Las Vegas in the "Foiies-Bergere" at the Tropicana Hot^l. As well as writing the choreographing and directing the show, T designed the costumes and wrote special mu?·ic and lyrics. At present I have the following three shows running: 1. "Foiies-Bergere" at the Tropicana Hotel in Las V^gas. 2. "Nightlife" at the Princess Casino in the Bahamasj. 3. "The SandCastle" show in Tumon, Guam, For the near future T am creating a new edition of the "FJolies- Bergere" for the Tropicana Hotel; conceiving a show with an 80 piece symphony orchestra for Branson, Missouri; working; on a revised show for the Princess Casino in the Bahamas and working on several projects with Mark Baldyga, President of the SandCastle, I hope this is satisfactory. It was a pleasure meeting ^ou in Guam. Sincerely, Jerry Jackson
