Annie grew up in Pittsburgh, where she first started chasing the
ballerina dream at the age of nine, studying at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and
Point Park College. During her time at the Pennsylvania Governors School for
the Arts in 2001, she converted to chasing the modern dream. Her quest to
become a prima modernina led her first to Arizona State University in
2003 where she studied with folks such as Karen Schupp, Cynthia Roses-Them,
Brad Garner and Daniel Nagrin. Fearing the beautiful Arizona sun might make
her too tan, she left for more familiar climates in Philadelphia, where
she's about to graduate from University of the Arts, having studied with
pretty much ever faculty member there. She spent last summer at the American
Dance Festival where she learned a great deal from Miguel Gutierrez, David
Dorgman, Karinne Keithley, Paul Matteson, and Jillian Pena.
