I found Cathryn in the locker room of New Dance Group this past October. You never know who you’ll meet while changing out of your dance clothes. I was lucky, to say the least. Cathryn shot two rehearsals of a new piece I recently choreographed, “At Ease.” She came in with very little knowledge of what I was up to, and shot like she had seen the piece and knew it inside and out. As she balanced herself up on chairs and wove herself in between all the action, she astonished me with the CD she presented. This was a pictoral storytelling of a dance like I had never seen, from just a few short hours of work. Wow!
How did she catch this???? Ryan Schmidt is upside down and smiling, nonetheless! Cathryn saw potential in every moment and when you take a look at her shots, you’ll see what I mean. Check this out!
Read on to see all that she has been up to in her career. And, BTW, isn’t she a beautiful woman? Someone should snatch her up for Vogue!

Maralyn Miles is on my top 10 list of all-time favorite teachers. Ballet classes have been my bread and butter to keep my body in shape, and I am happy that, for fifteen years, this radiant woman has been there for me. Her barre is thorough and challenging, and her center is carefully choreographed to keep you focused and moving, with full attention to detail. From our early days at New Dance Group in NYC, to Scarsdale, NY to Greenwich, CT, Maralyn taught me so much. Her reputation endures, as seen by the many students that continue to flock to her classes. Thanks for all you have done for me, Maralyn!
