What have you been up to since RIBT? Please let us know what you are pursuing now. Are you still dancing?
Since ending my wonderful experience with RIBT, I've kept very busy with my two children Gian (10) and Nico (7)! I'm currently studying to become a nutritionist, while managing my own health & wellness business: TOTAL HEALTH.
2008 also marks my 17th year as the Artistic Director of Narragansett Performing Arts!
What is your fondest memory of RIBT?
There are many fond memories of my time with RIBT , yet I have to say that squeezing on a TuTu again, after having my first son, MUST the fondest!!
What are some of the lessons you learned from the RIBT experience?
The time I spent with RIBT certainly served as reinforcement, and reminded me of the reasons I had always enjoyed being a dancer. It also allowed me to become the student again .. not just the teacher, and that was a very valuable experience for me.
Do you have any advice for the young dancers at RIBT today?
My advice for students today is to acknowledge that the challenge of demanding such a level of discipline from yourself can be difficult, but the rewards of reaching beyond your potential now, will benefit you for years to come.
Anything else you would like to add?
In closing, I wish many years of continued success to RIBT, it's Directors, alumni and future dancers!
