Core Dancer

Tracy has been dancing since the age of 6 and appeared in her first role as an orphan from the musical "Oliver". She continued to dance all through her school years and graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.A. in Dance Performance in Theatre. Tracy was awarded the Talented Student Scholarship for all years attending NIU. Since then she has performed with numerous dance companies, and in several musicals including A Chorus Line, Hair and The Pulse of the City. For 10 years she was the Artistic Director of the Dance Theatre of Elgin, and has taught dance classes and workshops throughout Chicago and neighboring states. Tracy has been choreographing since her teen years and has won the praise of both critics (Chicago Tribune, Chicago Reader, Gary Indiana Northwest Phoenix) and audiences alike. Most recently Tracy was presented with the 2006 Audience Choice Award for her choreography in Chicago Dance Festival. Tracy joined AMEBA in 2006 and couldn't be happier continuing. When not dancing, Tracy devotes the rest of her time to the practice and teaching of yoga and to loving her husband and kitty cats.
