For many years now Gina Samardge has been an educational and artistic force in the New York area, from her highly praised toddler music classes to her formal musical instruction at various schools, and from her work in the New York clowning, theater and vaudeville communities to her family music contributions as Ginasing. Gina is at once an educator, explorer and performer who has now formalized her offerings under the umbrella of Compass Arts, a multi-locational arts organization seeking to contribute arts classes, arts development and performances with a variety of teachers, locations and programs.
