Dancing
I began studying ballet at the age of five and started dancing professionally at seventeen. I’ve been fortunate to travel all over the world through dance, meeting people from every walk of life along the way. Those experiences have shaped not only my career, but the person I am today. Performing has been the driving force in my life for as long as I can remember, and I feel incredibly grateful to have built a career doing what I love.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of performing with companies including the Kirov Ballet and Kirov Opera Ballet, as well as the San Francisco and Los Angeles Opera Ballets, among others.
With a deep love for eras past, I also perform with the Jazz Age dance group The Canarsie Wobblers. Our work takes us to Jazz Age events across the country, including the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island.
I had the great honor of being a cast member of the original production of The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for nearly 21 years. During that time, I performed my own role within the ballet ensemble and served as an internal swing, covering thirteen female ensemble roles — often stepping into multiple tracks within a single performance. I was also called upon as Dance Captain when needed, teaching the show to new cast members. Becoming part of the Broadway community has been one of the great joys of my life.
As Phantom was nearing it’s final performance in April 2023, our Stage Manager did a little math …
My estimated number of shows performed in The Phantom of the Opera, on the Majestic Stage was 6,391!
If ‘Jessica Radetsky’ were a Broadway show, it would be the 6th longest running show of all time … Just shy of Cats, tying Les Miserables, and surpassing A Chorus Line!
