They both work and help manage a high end kitchen and bathroom design room/company.  I danced with San Jose Ballet, and then became the Director for a few years. I continued teaching and became an International ballet coach working closely with San Francisco Ballet, Washington Ballet, Joeffry Ballet, Munich Opera Ballet, Stugart Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and many more. My  private students won awards world wide including, The Prix de Lausanne,  The Presidential Arts Award and the National Endowment for the Arts and I coached a soloist from San Francisco Ballet for the International Competition where we won the Bronze medal in the world.  I have done a lot of bit part acting, joined Sweet Adeline’s Chorus, had two T. V shows on cable, one a work out show the other a health show, producing the later.  I became a Rev. so I can Officiate at weddings and now I do that full time plus I own my own wedding planning company,  Stephanie’s Elite Wedding Service. I still go on auditions for acting and take hip hop dance classes 5 times a week.  I love my family and my life and I go after anything and everything I want to do before I die.
