All of these exercises are wonderful. The Monday Mattox series is valuable resource and inspiration to anyone who loves jazz dance. The jazz lines of Matt Mattox are timeless, and elegant. The jazz lines and technique are as pleasing today, as they ever were. I love to watch Bob demonstrating these exercises and sharing his extensive knowledge. I wish I was in the US and able to attend Bob's classes.! Thank you again.

Jarrod Hollis Thank you for your heartfelt words. I agree with you about the beauty and integrity of the Mattox style and method. Where are you located?

[@jarrodhollis9962]

Bob, thank you for your reply. I am on a tiny island in the English Channel called Jersey, which is about 100m south of the UK and near the French coastline. Originally I'm from the UK mainland.
Watching your lessons is a great help and inspiration. I love jazz. I have danced since a child, but mainly tap. At the grand age of 50 I decided to take more exams and also teaching exams. Tap was a breeze, but I have now embarked on developing my Jazz and Ballet....which is far more of a challenge, but one that I love.
