Peters has assembled some of the strongest dancers I’ve seen in musical theater around here, including a trio of elegant beauties - Tracey Dennig, Chelsea Hester, and Danielle Scheib - who front many of the numbers. The choreography is slick and clever, and everyone’s dancing is tight, tight, tight - no small feat when the moves are difficult, the action continuous, and the stage full of moving bodies.
Review of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Denver’s Westword News
Dance and musical theater have been my passion, my emotional support, and an outlet for my creativity and expression for as long as I can remember.
I pride myself on creating a life that honors my various passions and interests. With a B.S. in Child Development and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health, I have worked as a play therapist, eating disorder therapist, and career counselor in addition to consistently teaching dance classes and performing in musicals wherever I go.
My previous tagline "Therapist by day and performer by night" needs to be updated to say "MOMMY by day and performer by night." Becoming a mom has truly been the highlight of my life (which says a lot since dance lights me up like nothing else ever has).
Whether I'm in a dance studio, holding space for a client, or doing crafts with my toddler, I show up wholeheartedly with passion and dedication.
Based in New York City, I am thrilled to continue my dance and performance career alongside my "day jobs" and hope to serve as an inspiration to those who feel their dreams are too big or "all over the place."
