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


Since RIbt, I am in my 12th year as owner and artistic director of Dance Rhode Island in Scituate, RI. I attend dance conventions in RI and Mass. I am also a member of dance alliance of RI, Professional Dance Teachers Association, Dance Masters of America, and Dance Educators of America. Also, in August, I got married to Donti Rosciti.

 

What is your fondest memory of RIBT?

My fondest memory of RIbt is all the shows we did. It was such a thrill to perform.

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

The lesson I learned was how to be a better teacher because of  Mrs. McAuliffe. She expects a lot from her dancers and asks for only their best. No matter how old the dancer; everyone was expected to follow the rules of the company. I admire Nancy for all she has done for RIbt.

 

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

I would advise young dancers to appreciate and value the excellent ballet technique and training that RIbt provides.
