Texas A & M University Blitt exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptures. Blitt experimented with a dance composition class and said: "Getting dancers to alternately dance on the floor and then dance with their hands on paper, back and forth as the spirit moved them... was a very satisfying experience for me." This was done while listening to the wonderful percussion cd "Over The Moon" composed and performed by Dr. Michael Udow. The response was magical. One student said "I've never felt so creative in my life and it made me feel so calm". Another student went home and wrote ten pages in her journal about the experience. A month and a half later, Christine Bergeron, dance instructor, wrote Blitt 'They still talk about the experience with you and how it has influenced their creative juices'.
