I'm 71 and dance for the New York Liberty. My hearing loss doesn't get in the way of dancing to the beat.
Briefly

Performing arts has been a part of my life since childhood in Newark, New Jersey. I won an award for reciting poetry and took dance lessons with established dancers.
I can do Tinikling dancing with bamboo poles from the Philippines, play the castanets, do the hula, and do Irish step dancing, which was an eye-opening experience.
As an adult, I auditioned for several Broadway shows but didn't get cast. Instead, I found fulfillment in community theater and teaching theater for 50 years.
I always say I'm a woman of many gigs. In 2001, I taught at two places and loved that my students wanted to be there.
