Ever since I saw Angie perform in Out of the Dark I was inspired by her dancing and the expression portrayed in her dancing. It all began for Angie in an open class at JMBT. She has just moved here and she was trying out open dance classes in other local studios around Boston. After her first open class at Ballet Theatre the teacher suggested she audition for the company. They must have favored her dancing as she was asked to join the company to perform in The Nutcracker and has been here ever since!

Angie was a featured dancer in Mr. Mateo's premiere of Timeless Attractions. She graced the stage with strength and poise. This pas de deux, called Rustico, was fast paced, full of challenging lifts and jumps, and a work out! Her most memorable part of Out of the Dark was the final weekend. Not only was she fond of the choreography and piece, but she felt that she had completely developed her character by then. "I really enjoyed my role and I believe I reached the dramatic intent that I was working towards." Also, she graciously accepted many compliments throughout the performances from audience members filled with admiration. Angie had a rewarding experience through her dancing, working with her partner Kehlet Schou, and letting her character shine through.

Just like her fellow company member, Jenna-Marie Nagel, when asked about her favorite Ballet Theatre piece, she asserted, "Schubert's Adagio. "It is just an amazing & beautiful ballet. One of his best by far."

On a more personal note, Angie is very much looking forward to the summer. Tentative plans include visiting her friends on the West coast, in California. She would also like to take a tropical vacation somewhere to soak up the warm sun. "I love the beach! I try to go as often as I can!" As for an international trip Angie would like to go back to her heritage. "If I could anywhere in the world, I would go to Italy. I am definitely going to make it there someday."

Lastly, I asked her about her experiences with other types of dance. Angie has studied modern ballet throughout high school and college. "I performed a modern piece for Tommy Neblett when I first moved to Boston. He has a company in the area and produces some really amazing work. I really enjoy watching modern dance, as well as performing it." As for a few other styles she is trained in are jazz, hip hop, and even musical theater. She has enjoyed learning each of these styles and has met some great people during her experiences.

At Ballet Theatre, we are more than glad that Angie chose to dance as a company member. She brings life to each of her characters and her dancing is breathtaking!!
