I have been fortunate enough to face the challenge of storytelling in many unique mediums, one being dance and staging. The Rockville Civic Ballet is a local dance company that has been performing in Rockville for over 40 years. The RCB puts on 3 productions a year, including classics and brand new original works. As Associate Director of the Rockville Civic Ballet, I build narrative through not only my own movement, but also through choreography, staging, lighting, set design, and concept and plot, all tied together to form a bigger picture; a polished final product that is showed to a paying audience. Our leadership team takes pride in fostering a healthy and diverse environment for engaged dancers of all ages to help bring our stories to life.
Our recent productions include:
