Terry's Story
Life has truly been facinating and such a blessing! In my (way) younger years, I performed with a number of wonderful dance companies. Later, after I was married, I turned my passion for classical ballet and the arts into teaching at the Boston Conservatory of Music, Boston University, University of Alabama, as well as being invited to teach at Chautauqua Instituion for Jean Pierre Bonnefous in 1989 and 1990. It was wonderful teaching there and feeling as though I had made a "full circle".
After living in England for awhile with my family, we returned to the states and moved to Summerville, SC to help my mother and father , who had retired to the sunny south. I opened my own school, The Classical Ballet Centre, and I have had the joy of training some won...Expand for more
derful students, including one talented student who has gone on to become a Principal with the NYC Ballet.
My son Scott works in Real Estate, my daughter Jennifer is a State Farm agent and my daughter Buffy, has just graduated magna cum laude from law school. I have five beautiful grand children and I am fortunate that all, except my youngest daughter, live close by. I returned to finish my college degree and graduated with honors, at age 55! I had a teriffic time doing it. I still continue to teach and enjoy lazy days at the beach, reading , being active in my church and pampering two dogs and two cats, not to mention the grandchildren! My years of growing up in Chautauqua will always bring fond memories... especially those of all of you!
God bless,
Terry
