"What is dance? It is movement - the rhythm of the universe, the pulse beat of the earth, the choreography of the galaxies. The swaying of the trees, the way a reed bends in the evening's breeze." ~ Jade Geneve
Almost seventy years ago, at the age of nine, Jade Geneve began her career as a professional dancer. She went on to become a well known featured dancer, appearing with many of the famous names of her day - Danny Kaye - Ray Bolger - Carman Miranda - Elvis Presley - Frank Sinatra, and many others.
For over two years she was featured as dance soloist on one of tv's top shows, 'Stop The Music', along with guest star appearances on the Ed Sullivan, Milton Beryle, Sid Caesar and Emegine Coco shows, and countless other top t.v. appearances.
After a serious auto accident she was told she would never walk again. She used her extensive training in the field of dance to teach herself not only to walk, but to dance again.
In her own healing process she worked at Roosevelt hospital with amputees, at the Havestraw Center for polio victims in New York, with emotionally disturbed children at Bellevue hospital in New York, and at rehab centers for delinquent boys and girls.
In all these areas she worked closely with doctors and therapists and learned much under their guidance. Jade Geneve, along with Dr. Miles in Washington D.C., became well known as the innovators of using dance as therapy.
Later she married her child hood sweetheart and moved to La Jolla California, where she opened La Jolla Dance Center, a very successful studio with high standards and a minimum enrollment of 250 students.
"Dance is the image and energy of God. His divine creation, His ultimate work of art. And, again I say, you are dance." ~ Jade Geneve
