In December of 2008 Jimmy
Locust was asked by Leah Kimmet, Executive Director of the
Horizon's Enrichment Program to choreograph a piece for the
Horizon's Bi-Annual Fundraiser that was held on February 27,
2009 at the Greenwich Hyatt. Jimmy created a work using
all the Horizon's Scholarship dancers. The piece covered
different genres such as Ballet, Contemporary and Hip Hop. The
Dancers were a huge hit!!!!
