"Great Performances: Judith Jamison." PBS: Free To Dance. 11 Nov 2011. A few years later, Cuyjet began sending Jamison to other teachers to advance her dance education. She learned the Cechetti method from Antony Tudor, founder of the Philadelphia Ballet Guild, and studied with Delores Brown Abelson, a graduate of Judimar who pursued a performance career in New York City before returning to Philadelphia to teach. Throughout high school, Jamison was also member of numerous sports organizations, the Glee Club, and the Philadelphia String Ensemble. She studied Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a system that teaches rhythm through movement. At age seventeen, Jamison graduated from Judimar and began her collegiate studies at Fisk University.〔http://www.pbs.org/wnet/freetodance/biographies/jamison.html〕 After 3 semesters there, she transferred to the Philadelphia Dance Academy where she studied dance with James Jamieson, Nadia Chilkovsky, and Yuri Gottschalk. In addition to her technique classes, she took courses in Labanotation, kinesiology, and other dance studies. During this time, she also learned the Horton technique from Joan Kerr, which required great strength, balance, and concentration.〔Jamison, Judith. Dancing Spirit.
