"Just to say, I've just been onto your website about Jane Avril. I very much enjoyed reading the posts and looking at the pictures. I especially liked reading the quotes section. I don't know much about Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings, but her image certainly felt familiar. I suppose, it makes sense, as you've pointed out in several posts that she appears in films, posters etc. So one can be - even remotely - familiar with her image without actually realising it. I actually didn't know that she was an actual person and a famous dancer at that!" (Ilias)

I am a Ph.D student in dance researching relationship between movement and mental illness, especially at Salpetriere. I am interested in descriptions of Jane Avril dancing. The information on the website is important. (Marija)
Thank you! Wonderful site! My mother would have loved it. Hhowever, she may be hanging with Jane at this moment. (Tobin)
I've been reading and enjoying your blog as I'm visiting Paris this week, and Jane Avril's story is so cool! I want to read more about her, and I plan to pick up the biography by Jose Shercliff. Thanks, (Lyn)
Hi Craig, Thank you for creating this site for Jane. I am certain her soul knows about it and really appreciates it. I have referenced your site for a while and it has helped me remember that dancing love star who believed (and still does) that with love all is possible. God bless! Take care, (Sarah)
Hi, I'm French and I live in Paris, I'm an artist and I'm writing a film about Jane Avril's life. Your blog is really interesting! Thanks! (Francoise)
Very much enjoy your blog! I'm a French teacher and vintage dancer and also a big fan of Jane Avril. I've danced the role of Jane Avril (wearing the snake dress with the hat) in a performance that was an homage to the impressionist and post-impressionist painters. I just played her again last night at an anniversary celebration for one of the grand old hotels on Nob Hill in San Francisco. Thanks again for all the info on Jane Avril! (Angela)
Hello, great stuff you are posting. (Mac)
