What year did you graduate? (Or what year would you have graduated?)
1994
What do you do now?
So after graduating from DA I went to Dallas, Texas for 4 years and meet my husband Joseph Gallerizzo who was also a dance major. We move to New York City on July 5th, 1998. We both were soon hired to dance with The Paul Taylor Dance Company and Taylor 2. After 4 years of hard travelling and crazy events like 09/11 we decided to come off the road and start my own dance company.
I started Dodge Dance Company in hopes of lots of great things and managed to do well for 5 years and it got some great exposure. The reality of funding a company in New York took its toll and I put the company to sleep for a bit until I can figure out where to move to start it again.
Since then I have gotten into Mixed Martial Arts and Stunt Training in the movies. I am pursuing something different and something crazy before we leave good old New York and start a family.
I hope all the DA grads are doing well and enjoying life.
I opened my own dance studio last year so that keeps me pretty busy! And of course my kids are growing like weeds. It's a nice schedule, since it lets me be home all day with my 2 year old daughter. And she loves going up there and being in all of the classes so that is fun to watch. I tell you what you girl, you look like a total bad ass in these pics you have, I love it!
Hey. That's cool that you're in Natick. Are you teaching dance? I'm psyched that school is OUT for the rest of the month. That gives me time to write. Great photos, by the way.
I'm doing really well, thanks. Jessica and I got married in '04 and had a son 16 months ago. We're happier than ever. I'm glad to hear you're doing well also.

Haha. Life does come to a complete circle. I loved looking at your pictures. What a beautiful bride! It's amazing when you run into and visit people from the past... So glad to catch up a bit! I remember you coming to the studio when I was in early high school and I loved dancing with you. ; )
I am great! I was wondering about you recently so I'm glad you are on here. You look great and it sounds like life has been good to you since we last had a chat. Martial arts, eh? You are one brave soul!! Hope this finds you doing well~ xoxo
I used to dance with Push Factor Dance company! My husband wanted to tell you that he thought your company was the most enjoyable at the International Dance Fest. in NYC a few years back! He loved the golfing dance!!!
Hey there! How are you? I am great--still living in Boston. I'm a 6th grade teacher. That's so cool about your dance company! I don't dance anymore, but I still write! I am working on a novel. Are you still in New York?
