Dancer Who Paints


My dance and athletic coordination were seen in early childhood dance performances. I never asked to study ballet. People saw me moving on stage and placed me in a class at the York, PA School of Ballet, where my instructor, Sherri Grim, regarded me as having pre-professional-level talent. She had me take class four days a week and put me on pointe, early, when I was nine. Then she suddenly stop teaching a couple of years later. She was so intent on me continuing with dance that she had my parents install a barre in our home, but a young ballerina does not seriously train on pointe on her own.

Regarding the JCC in York, PA: It is surprising that there even was one. Most of the children were not Jewish. Also, I attended York's poor inner city school system from Kindergarten through 9th grade — where my sisters and I were the only Jewish children.
