“Steve is always there with a smile to help–in fact he’s helped with ALL of the Bright Star studio moves, installed our mirrors multiple times, made our dressing room, put up our ballet barre, and more… As a musician, he always helps make the dancers’ jobs easier, being a welcoming presence who knows how to make a dancer shine. So let’s shine bright for him!”  – R. Noreen
