“Michael Jablonski is a class-act; not only as a performer and a teacher, but as a human. He goes leaps and bounds beyond the simple title of “educator.” In the three years that I have known Michael, we have worked together in collegiate and professional settings. He brings compassion, joy, tenderness and immense passion to every student he meets, every piece he choreographs and every class that he teaches. Michael Jablonski has become not only a mentor, but a dear friend with whom anyone would be lucky to know. Once, after an end-of-year performance, Michael said to me, “I never want to see you bring any less to the table than what you did up there today.” Michael Jablonski taught me to never settle for less than my absolute best - and for that I am forever grateful.”
