Dancing
I started studying ballet at the age of five, and started dancing professionally at the age of seventeen. I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world dancing, I’ve met people from all walks of life and have become the person I am today because of these experiences. Performing has been the driving force in my life, for as long as I can remember, and my greatest passion. I feel very fortunate to have made a career in dance.
I’ve had the great pleasure of performing with The Kirov Ballet and The Kirov Opera Ballet, The San Francisco and Los Angeles Opera Ballets, among others.
In love with eras past, I also perform with the Jazz Age dance group The Canarsie Wobblers. We perform at Jazz Age events around the country, including The Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island.
I also had the great honor of being a cast member of The Phantom of the Opera, on Broadway for nearly 21 years. Within that time, I had my own role in the ballet ensemble track and I was an internal swing, covering all of the ensemble female roles, sometimes going on as multiple tracks during one show. I was also utilized as the Dance Captain, when needed, teaching the show to new cast members. Becoming a part of the Broadway community has been one of the great joys of my life.
As Phantom was nearing it’s final performance in April 2023, my Stage Manager did a little math …
My estimated number of shows performed in The Phantom of the Opera, on the Majestic Stage was 6,391!
If ‘Jessica Radetsky’ were a Broadway show, it would be the 6th longest running show of all time … Just shy of Cats, tying Les Miserables, and surpassing A Chorus Line!
Others styles include, Swing, Charleston (all things 1920’s and 30’s) and Theater Dance.
