A tribute to the work Daniel Lewis has done at the New World School of the Arts as the Founding Dean of Dance. “It is a better sweet feeling for me to leave, but the school has grown up and it is time for me move on and get back to my love of teaching again. I will miss the students terribly but as I watch alumni in the field I will always have a wonderful feel of the work I have done.”
