Reflections of the Board
Dance has always been more than just movement to me—it is a language of expression, discipline, and transformation. As a proud native of the U.S. Virgin Islands and a former Miss Saint John Festival Queen, I have always carried a deep love for my community and a passion for uplifting its youth. My journey in the world of performing arts has shaped who I am today, instilling in me the confidence, resilience, and discipline that I now strive to pass on to the next generation.
As the Director of The French Academy of Performing Arts and The French Ballet Theatre Inc., my mission is to create opportunities for young artists to not only excel in dance but also to develop essential life skills—perseverance, teamwork, and self-expression. Through our programs, we prepare our students for higher education, professional careers, and leadership roles in the arts and beyond.
Bringing these opportunities back home to the U.S. Virgin Islands has been one of my greatest joys. By providing access to high-quality training, mentorship, and performance experiences, I hope to inspire young dancers to dream big and recognize their limitless potential.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building a future where the arts continue to transform lives, shape communities, and create lasting impact.

Connecting Families
​At The French Ballet Theatre, we believe dance is more than movement—it’s a shared experience that brings families together. Through annual showcases, performances, and community events, families become an essential part of their dancer’s journey, celebrating their growth, hard work, and achievements.
Active family participation fosters confidence, discipline, and lifelong memories, creating a deep connection between loved ones and the performing arts. When families support the arts, they inspire the next generation and keep the beauty of dance & expression alive for years to come.
Be a part of the magic—celebrate the arts with us!
