Alicia continues to further her Yoga training and is in the process of obtaining her Registered Yoga Teacher Certification at the 500 hour level in Svadhyaya Yoga as well as a certification in Thai Yoga Massage. 

 

Alicia teaches in Studios, Wellness Centers and Health and Athletic Clubs.  She also continues to work in theatre both as a performer and a choreographer.  She sings with the Annapolis Chorale and Chamber Chorus and has performed with The Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre, Colonial Players, the Young Victorian Theatre Company and Teatro Lirico d'Europa.  She has also worked with Broadneck High School and The Royal AcademyBallet School in Annapolis.

 

Alicia is involved in the arts both behind the scenes and on the stage.  She is currently on the Board at Colonial Players working as a member of the Artistic team.  As a past Board Member of the Annapolis Chorale she wass an integral part of the fundraising and development committee and serves as an Event Chairman for many of their fundraising events. 

 

 

 

Alicia began her movement studies in 1986.  She began studying ballet and modern dance and eventually went on to receive a B.F.A. in Dance from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts where she was recognized for excellence both regionally and nationally by the American College Dance Festival Association.  While attending Emerson she was fortunate to participate in residencies with the Independent Company of Alla Sigolova (Russia) and Eiko and Koma (Japan).

 

Alicia went on to present her choreography throughout the United States. While living in Seattle, she worked with several dance companies including Dance on Capitol Hill, Olympic Ballet Theater and Seattle Contemporary Ballet Center. Several of her works with OBT were chosen for the Regional Dance America Festival and she was selected as Artist in Residence at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.

      

In addition to presenting and promoting her own choreography, Alicia co-founded a non-profit organization committed to supporting pro-active, self-producing artists. She has been involved behind the scenes with dance organizations such as The Firehouse Studio, Ivy Presents, The White Oak Dance Project and The Pacific Northwest Ballet, working successfully in fundraising, development and promotion.

 

Alicia took a one-year sabbatical and lived in England studying dance, traveling and creating new choreographic works for musical theatre and modern dance companies as well as working in fitness centers.

 

Upon returning to the United States Alicia attained a Primary Fitness Certification from the American Fitness and Athletic Association and began teaching in Health Clubs bringing her knowledge of dance, pilates, and Yoga to a more mainstream clientele.
