About DANCE THEATRE OF JACKSONVILLE

Dance Theatre was designed and created by God. It was certainly not by me. I went to East Carolina University to get a degree in education.

My dream was to be a stay-at-home mom but if it was absolutely necessary that I have to work outside the home, then I would be a teacher.

In 1974, I was asked and then pressured to teach dance at Dixon Elementary. I finally said yes to a plan to teach only a few hours a day, twice a week. I loved my students and enjoyed being a part of something that brought them so much joy. The program grew and I continued teaching in the Dixon area for 13 years.

In 1986, I was asked to teach for a studio in Jacksonville that had just lost a teacher. I was very reluctant because my heart was at home with my four children. I decided to take the temporary position because I knew most of the children and I would love being their teacher.
