Class Note 2001. Spring has sprung, fellow ’01s, and our 25th reunion is only about three months away. I hope you and yours are busy making plans to head to Hanover from June 19 through 21. Registration opens March 3, and the reunion committee is busy planning up great activities and delicious food. We cannot wait to see many of you there!
I never quite got around to asking for updates this month but was lucky enough to have an awesome email waiting for me in my inbox from Elizabeth Sullivan. She shared, “This fall marks my 14th anniversary of coaching pre-professional ballet dancers in my private coaching practice. My dancers have gone on to join professional ballet companies around the world as well as attend colleges across the country. They are a constant source of inspiration. It’s also my seventh year co-owning and co-directing an Italian immersion daycare in Brooklyn, New York: Girotondo.
“Both businesses have been incredible learning and growth opportunities that have allowed me to be my own boss, for which I am grateful. I’m raising my daughter, Julianna (11.5 years old), on my own in Brooklyn and love reconnecting with old Dartmouth friends, so be in touch (www.thedancerscoach.com and www.girotondobk.com).” Both websites offer a lot of insight into Elizabeth’s path to this moment. Can’t wait to hear more stories and updates such as these in person in June!
