“How do you explain Betsy Baytos without visuals?”
“Betsy Baytos is something of a national treasure for animators. Her knowledge of Eccentric and comedic dances (and dancers) from all over the world, coupled with her expert and inventive choreography, makes her a boon to animators... Working with her on Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, was a joy, a marvel, and a hoot, and I can’t wait until we can work together again! ”
“Thank you for the great, great choreography! You made our characters dance!”
