Stephanie began dancing at age 7 under the instruction of Pauline Baker Rogers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where she studied ballet until attending college at the University of Richmond. Stephanie was a member of the University Dancers, and had the opportunity to participate in workshops with Pilobolus, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and many others. She loves musical theater and while living in Philadelphia and Chicago, she performed in many musicals including Cabaret, Anything Goes, and A Chorus Line. As a child, dance was a source of inspiration and confidence for Stephanie. Miss Pauline made every student feel special, and Stephanie strives to carry on her ideals. She is very grateful to be a part of the Rockford Dance Company community. She looks forward to seeing her students every week and sharing her love of dance with them.
