An honors graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (2004) and a recipient of her Masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University (2006), Brooke's early academic achievements allowed her to fully pursue and embrace her career as a performer. A classically trained dancer, Brooke studied with Margot Fonteyn's Royal Academy of Dance, Robert Christopher of the American Ballet Theater, and most significantly under Willa Damien to whom she owes endless gratitude for her mentorship and support.
Brooke began her professional performance career dancing in featured and principal roles with dance companies throughout New York City. With the desire to draw on her versatility as a singer and actress, Brooke entered the world of musical theater in 2007. She has been lucky enough to perform in 40 states throughout the country in a variety of leading and ensemble roles. Notable works include the 2007-2008 Broadway National Tour of Peter Pan in which she played Tiger Lily and understudied the title role of Peter, and Arizona Broadway Theatre's 2010 production of Gypsy in the role of June.
In addition to her performance career, Brooke has several professional choreography credits and has held dance captainships in many of the theatrical productions in which she has appeared. Brooke's passion for choreography has been fostered by her love for teaching. Brooke is a highly sought instructor of dance, theater, and fitness throughout Long Island, New York City, and Arizona. With twelve years of teaching experience under her belt and certifications in group fitness instruction as well as personal training, Brooke enjoys teaching students of all levels and abilities.
