Eugene “Pineapple” Jackson
started the Sue Carol School of Dance in 1960. It started
in a garage that had been converted into a studio. His
own children were among the first students.
In 1968 the dance school was moved
to a building purchased by Mr. Jackson. They named
the new location Stage Workshop. Students came from
all over
the Los Angeles area, including Pasadena. The students appeared in
showcases and competitions, thus building a reputation of being a dance
school of the highest caliber.
In
1983, Sue, Eugene’s youngest
daughter, started teaching dance for the City of Pasadena
Parks and Recreation and for the F.D. Dancey Youth
Academy. In 1992 Sue opened her own studio in Pasadena.
This year marks her 45th year of dancing and 37th year
of teaching. Sue B. Dance Company is committed to offering
an outlet for the creativeness of the youth of the
Pasadena/Altadena community and surrounding areas. |
