I have been involved in dance for over 50 years as a student, professional dancer, dance teacher, and choreographer. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance from the City University of New York. I have performed professionally across the United States and Canada. I have performed in Las Vegas and New York City. I ran and owned my own dance studio for 25 years where I taught ballet, tap jazz and modern dance to children through adults. I have also taught dance at Kent State University and in Akron Public Schools.
