Miss Linda's career has truly been an adventure, taking me from stages across the country to life at sea. She performed as a singer and dancer on cruise ships, toured nationally with the musical Can Can, and spent a memorable summer entertaining audiences at Hershey Park—truly the sweetest place on Earth. Along the way, I had the privilege of stepping into beloved roles like Reno in Anything Goes, Sheila and Morales in A Chorus Line, and Lola in Damn Yankees, to name a few. 

Choreography became another creative passion of mine, and I’ve had the opportunity to work

on more than 100 productions, including West Side Story, Annie, Oliver, The Secret Garden, A

Chorus Line, and Anything Goes. Still, teaching dance was always the dream that lived at the

heart of it all. I became a certified and accredited member of Dance Educators of America and,

at just 23 years old in 1989, I opened the doors to the New Jersey Center of Dance (NJCOD).

Building a competitive team soon followed, and it has been incredibly rewarding to watch

generations of dancers grow—not only in their technique, but in their confidence, discipline,

and love for the art. That pride continues to this day.

After three decades, I made the decision in 2019 to relocate to Florida while continuing to

oversee NJCOD from afar.

As I reflect on the past and look ahead to the future, I feel so grateful. I’m excited to continue

Watching the next generation of dancers shine at NJCOD as I continue to dance my way through this incredible journey of life.
