In the process Ms. Rommett has acquired a long list of devotees that reads like a virtual "Who's Who" of the dance world. Among the countless Floor-Barre® enthusiasts are performers Tommy Tune, Judith Jamison, Patrick Swayze, Lar Lubovitch, Melissa Hayden and John Curry who proclaim they 'owe it all to her genius' for saving and extending their careers while she coaches them to a new level of perfection, freedom and confidence.
