JODY ANDERSON is thrilled to be directing I LoveYou… with this dream cast! As a principal dancer with the Kansas City Ballet for 16 years, Jody had the honor of performing some of the greatest works of the 20th Century. She was also handpicked by Alvin Ailey to perform as a guest artist with his company The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. Jody is currently the Artistic Manager of the professional division at The Rock School for Dance Education in Philadelphia. Locally, Jody has choreographed for The Candlelight Theatre, Wilmington Drama League, Three Little Bakers, The Brandywiners, Broadway Theatre of Pitman and the Ritz Theatre. She also created original works for The Kansas City Ballet, Mid-Atlantic Ballet, The Rock School and the Delaware Dance Company. Jody is a five-time Barny award winner and also won the Broadway.com award for best choreography in 2016 for The Music Man, also here at Candlelight. Jody sends a big shout out to the over 150 couples that submitted their pictures that you will be seeing through the show…and to our 5 couples who shared their wonderful stories with us as well. Dan Healy…thanks for being best video director! Jody would also like to thank you, our audience for keeping the arts alive when the world needs them the most. Her best production, however, is her beautiful daughter Julia…and as always PING!
