So nice to come across this page! Susan Schneider, great to see what you are doing. I just went through my second hip replacement, so want to start tap again in the near future. Am working at U of Dayton Law School as Asst. Dean of Admissions so I can work with students again, if not necessarily choreographing them, at least counseling them. It continues to keep me young!

Anne Garrett
E-Mail: anne@lwsf.org
After founding the Preeclampsia Foundation in 1999, I have recently taken over the position of Executive Director of the Lake Washington Schools Foundation in Redmond, Washington. It is a great job raising money for programs that state and federal monies are no longer able to support--particularly the arts. My four boys are now 20 (a sophomore at Hampshire College), 15, 9 and 6 and I am dating a very nice programmer (it's Seattle) named Steve. Life is good. (Update: October, 2005)

After living, working, and dancing in Minneapolis for 8 years, I decided to go back to school. I finished my MFA in dance performance and choreography at the University of Colorado at Boulder in May 2006. A couple of weeks after graduation I performed a solo piece titled "Exposed Layers" at the National ACDF at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. I'm in my first year teaching dance at El Paso Community College (El Paso, Texas). I'm the first full-time tenure track dance instructor at this community college, so I'm building a program from the ground up.! (Update: April, 2007)
