I am pleased to announce the promotion of our stellar Lead Teacher Susan Gladstone to Assistant Artistic Director.

Susan shares a professional ballet background with me, having trained at the prestigious School of America Ballet started by George Balanchine, and danced with Pacific Northwest Ballet. Her musical choices and choreography reflect that consummate background. Her dance training, music experience, teaching ability, commitment, and care for the students are unparalleled. We have worked together collaboratively for over 13 years at CDI.

Susan has the 3 Ws: Work ethic, Wisdom and Wit.  Bravo, Susan, and thank you for your devotion to CDI. The entire staff at CDI welcomes your new position.
