Hi Pitt Dance Ensemble!
I recently received a Pitt Alumni enewsletter and saw Susan Gillis Kruman teaching a Lifelong Learning class. I was a PDE dancer in 1981 and remember Susan from my dance days at Pitt. Curious, I searched around and was excited to find she's still with PDE as faculty director. (back then we didn't have internet! Wow!). I pulled out my old photo albums and have several photos of our 1981 dance concert. Would love to share those online.
I'm 61 and still dancing 3-4 times a week. Back then, I admired older women dancers with their depth of movement wisdom. They inspired me and I've always said I'll dance into my 80's and beyond. And here I am still dancing at 61!
I also teach Inclusive Dance for people with 'dis'Abilities and all abilities here in NC.
I'll figure out how to post my 1981 PDE photos and a bit about my dance life now.
Happy to find you all! Beautiful PDE dancers!
With Joy...
