I have ALWAYS loved to dance. I credit my first dance teacher, C.J. Brummeler for fostering my ability and love for the art. Early on I trained with many great teachers including Robert Davis (Pittsburg Ballet), Christopher Flynn, and the great jazz master, Gus Giordano.
I hold a BS in Education, Recreation and Dance from Central Michigan University and am a proud alumnus of CMU Orchesis Dance Company - directed by Yvette Crandall, for which I was a soloist for 4 years. As a compliment to my dance training, I also loved and wholeheartedly embraced cheerleading. From Jr. High through High School, I cheered and competed. After graduation, Linda Rae Chappell hired me to teach summer cheer and dance camps all across the country for Dynamic Cheerleaders Association. For 7 summers, I taught and was part of the creative team that developed and choreographed the camp curriculum. I have coached and judged competitive cheer and dance professionally for years including state, regional and national competitions. Add to the list of my loves and you will find - the Theater! The theatrical experience is a huge part of my program, and we are so very fortunate to call Thespian Hall our performance home. I have choreographed/directed and/ or performed for numerous theater groups and programs. The Turning Pointe has been my passion for almost THREE decades. Currently our program consists of instruction in ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, acrodance and hip hop for girls and boys ages 3 years to adult. We constantly strive to provide great dance instruction that inspires and motivates our students to reach beyond their perceived potential. By building confidence, most of our dancers far exceed their natural ability. The Turning Pointe program is designed to be inclusive keeping to my personal philosophy that dance is for everyone willing to rise to the challenge! |
