Given the choice between Dance class and Girl Scouts at the age of 5, my passion for Dance was quite evident. Having multiple dance classes per week through my elementary and middle school years, I was later given the opportunity to attend The Educational Center for the Arts for High School by audition only and was one of the first 2 students from my town to attend this amazing program for Dance which catapulted my pursuit to dance as a career.

After graduation I attended The School of the Hartford Ballet’s Teacher Certification Program, after which I taught at the Hartford Ballet School itself, in the Hartford Public Schools after-school dance program, and then later at several local dance studios in Las Vegas.

Also, while attending the Teacher Certification program, I began auditioning to pursue a performing career in Dance. My 1st offer was as a dancer and elephant rider with Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus in which I traveled and worked with people from all over the world for 3 years.This journey gave me the chance to learn hand balancing and I gave backstage tours to a mirage of celebrities. I then performed with Circo Tihany in Puerto Rico and learned aerial acts before traveling to Quebec to perform at Parc Safari.

My many ventures (and coaxing from close friends) landed me in Las Vegas where my career continued. I had the blessing to perform nightly at the Maxim Hotel/Casino for a show Joe Jackson produced (Michael’s father), also as a backup dancer for an impersonator show ‘Star Illusions’, a tap dancer for the ‘4 at 4’ Tap show at the 4 Queens. Ultimately becoming a Las Vegas Showgirl in Bally’s production of ‘Jubilee’, where I had the privilege to wear such exquisite costumes from top designers such as Bob Mackie and Pete Menefee while performing 12 shows a week in the longest running production show in Vegas’ history.

As you’ve learned my journey has presented multiple opportunities and experiences, but your path will be different. I’m excited to be on this path with you as you create your own Boulevard.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to fulfill another lifelong dream and share my love of Dance with the community. It is truly a blessing to bring The Boulevard to you.

Please join me in finding your path as you create your own personal Boulevard.
