"As a local radio journalist for many years, I have kept up through stories and conversations with Fran Spector Atkins and her brilliant dance projects.  It has been a reassuring pleasure to follow her adventures in artistic expression and community involvement like a North Star on the Monterey Peninsula.  From gang violence to conservation of the ocean to overcoming isolation from the coronavirus experience, she has been a healing and creative force to budding dancers and appreciative audiences.  Spector Dance helps us rise up and reach out to make the world a better place." From Lisa Ledin at NPR for the Monterey Bay Area, 90.3 KAZU
