​​Ms. Suzanne loves dance!!!! She performed with the Kansas City Tap and Musical Comedy Company at the age of 14, and later at Kansas City's Starlight Theater. At the age of 19 she had her first dance contract under Neil Hess, Director of the Lone Star Ballet and Texas Musical Drama where she spent two seasons. Due to injury and desiring a longer performance career, studied modern dance and continued tap dancing. Suzanne represented the U.S. in the International College Dance Festival in Kobe, Japan and performed with the Bill Evans Dance Company. She holds a Master's of Fine Arts in Dance Choreography from the University of Iowa. Her choreography has been performed in seven states, England, France, Germany and Ireland.
