Anthony Neumann, a dance instructor from Shreveport, carries Morgan Teller, the daughter of Blake and Stacy Teller, while demonstrating how light a dancer with good form can be. At right, he helps a twirling Piper Booth, the daughter Johnny and Terri Booth, keep her balance. Neumann was conducting a workshop for ages 7-17 Saturday at the Debra Franco Preparatory School of Dance. Originally from Rochester, N.Y., Neumann says he trained under Michael Peters, choreographer for pop icon Michael Jackson who died Thursday at 50 years old. Neumann has been coming to Franco’s school for the workshop for the past 17 years. (Meredith Spencer/The Vicksburg Post)
