简介

Born in Los Angeles, Nancy received her early classical training from Dimitri and Francesca Romanoff in San Jose, CA. After high school graduation, she moved to NYC, training initially at ABT, eventually moving on to train with Finis Jung, Marjorie Mussman, David Howard and Nadine Revene. As her professional career developed, her greatest influence and constant inspiration was the great ballet teacher Maggie Black with whom she studied until Maggie’s retirement in the early ‘90’s. Performing and touring extensively, Nancy performed with the Alvin Ailey American Repertory Ensemble (1 year), the Joyce Trisler Danscompany (4 years) and the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company (9 years), dancing in the works of Alvin Ailey, Lucas Hoving, Milton Myers, Joyce Trisler, Charles Moulton, Donald McKayle, Doris Humphrey and Ruth St. Denis. Nancy was involved in the creation of many of the dances that Lar choreographed in the years between 1979 and 1989.
