What have you been up to since RIBT? Please let us know what you are pursuing now. Are you still dancing?


I got married in Santorini, Greece last October (that's where the photo is from, the Acropolis). I still work in the pharmaceutical industry. I love knitting and all sorts of crafting. My husband and I have been working hard to improve our home.  I teach at Dance Unlimited, Dance Artistry, and Seaside Dance and Gymnastics. I have choreographed some competition pieces, taught classes, and cleaned competition numbers.

 

What is your fondest memory of RIBT?

My fondest memory was performing in the local schools. It seemed to bring so much joy to the children and perhaps interest them in dance.

What are some of the lessons you learned from the RIBT experience?

I learned that even when you are sick or tired, the show must go on. That if you work hard you will pull through and become what you want to be.

 

Do you have any advice for the young dancers at RIBT today?

My advice for young dancers today is to stick with dance. It will help you be a disciplined individual. Dance can be a wonderful escape. You will grow, learn, develop and make lasting friend ships all through the beautiful art form we call dance.
