She later danced with the New York City Ballet under the
direction of George Balanchine, toured with Suki Schorer's New York Lecture
Ensemble, and performed in the Virgin Islands with Helgi Tomasson and Kay
Mazzo. Since 1986, after declining an offer to join the Pacific Northwest
Ballet in Seattle, Ms. Morgan has been developing her reputation in San Diego,
first as a notable dancer and later as a teacher. She has served on the faculty
of the School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Chula Vista, as Rehearsal
Assistant for San Francisco Ballet's San Diego productions of Nutcracker, Swan
Lake and Sleeping Beauty, and as an officer for the San Diego Dance Alliance.
Ms. Morgan choreographed a ballet piece for the NBC-TV movie "Jonathan, the Boy
Nobody Wanted." She founded the San Diego School of Ballet in 1989 and has been
building on successful performances and talented dancers since then. San Diego
Ballet, the resident company of the San Diego School of Ballet, was formed in
1991. |
