The menagerie of performances that comprises my career spans the magnificent to the mundane. In Washington DC, I performed for the President at the annual Kennedy Center Honors. In Fort Worth, I vanished and reappeared as a magician’s assistant at Casa Mañana. In New York, I tap danced on Broadway, and in Grapevine, I hee-hawed around as a saloon girl at the Gaylord Texan. I’ve danced at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta and taught line dancing at Billy Bob’s. I’ve danced at the Orange Bowl. I’ve danced in a boxing ring. I’ve been a casino showgirl and a go-go dancer in a cage. I’ve been a back-up dancer for Dr. John and an Elvis impersonator. I hate to admit it, but I have even appeared on a reality TV show – really.
My first Nutcracker experience was as a member of the Cornhusker Marching Band flag corps. We performed the Christmas classic as a medley during half time of a football game. I’ll stick to non-traditional versions of the show. Dancing mice freak me out.
