(1994) Jey Young Kim and Maida Withers improvise in concert  in Washington, DC to a poem Fascination,  by Young Tai Kim, Korea poet,  that “expresses our inner feelings-sometimes kin and on other occasions, cruel.  As in life we go through a series of unexpected turbulence.  A single moment may bring about supreme joy or utmost depression!”
(poem in the background)

Je Young Kim, was a highly trained, exquisite,  and recognized Korean dancer who also produced programs and became a noted professor in Korea.  Je Young came to visit her brother, a minister, in Washington, DC and she and Maida developed a strong connection that led to many projects in Korea and in DC, a relationship that continues today (2025).
“I am so honored to have performed with JeYoung and choreographed for her and created many exciting performances, programs, and projects in DC and Korea.  Je Young and Korean dancers have my greatest respect.” (Maida Withers)
