The director of Ballet Theatre School and the artistic director of the non-profit Ballet Theatre South. Ballet Theatre School
is celebrating its 33rd year of dance instruction on the Coast. And the year will culminate in
a 2016 production of Snow Queen on May 28th at the Biloxi Saenger. BTS offers classes
in ballet, jazz, lyrical, and comtemporary. Ages 3-adult are enrolled at the school.
Ballet Theatre South stages
the yearly production of “The Nutcracker” for Coast audiences. A family favorite that is a sell-out year after year.

What do you want our readers
to know? We have been on the Coast 18 years as a locally-owned and operated service. We are
also natives of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
What do you like about what you do? I love that I get to help people and bring some solutions to caregiving. That’s why we published the R.I.P.E. (Resources, Information and Planning for the Elderly) guide. It’s very hard to locate information when providing care for a loved one. The R.I.P.E. guide helps to put that information
at your finger tips. I also feel
like this sets us apart from other companies. The guide is distributed across the Coast.
As a child, what did you dream of becoming when you grew up? Actually in elementary school I wanted to be a nurse. After high school, I set out to do just that. I guess God had something different planned. After finishing a degree in Occupational Therapy, I had the privilege of working with nurses. Through our company we are able to staff nurses.
