Miss Susan has choreographed several musicals in Richmond Hill and in the West Michigan region, as well as award winning choreography for competition teams in MI and GA, not to mention hundreds of recital dances over the years!
Miss Susan is super passionate about dance and watching the growth in her students, both personally and with their dancing, makes her heart smile!
Her favorite things to do besides dancing are watching the NBA and HGTV, traveling, reading (Miss Susan was the former Community Relations Manager for Barnes & Noble in Holland, MI, before moving to Savannah), and caring for animals (neighborhood cat lady!). Opening OFF BROADWAY has been a dream come true. Her dance studio and her dance family makes her life complete!
