Choreographers


            Sue Booth has been teaching at Contemporary for several years. Prior to that she was the owner and operator of A Step  Above  for Dancers in Northfield. She’s also a past staff member of Joni’s school of dance in Barre. She started her teaching career at Studio One for Dancers in Oakland Maine. She’s a graduate of the Boston dance teachers/American society dance teacher education program and a past certified member of dance masters of America. ​
      Mary Chris DeBelina’s focus since 2008 has been primarily teaching children creative dance and raising her growing family.  MC studied Biology and Dance at Dartmouth College (B.A. 2005) and combined her two passions at Sarah Lawrence College receiving an MFA in Dance (2008).  Her thesis work focused on the links between science and art.
      After having four children, MC is excited to be finding her way back to dance again. MC can most days be found dancing in Montpelier, Vermont, hiking up mountains or folding mountains of laundry.  Formally, she dances with Willow Wonder and Hannah Dennison. She has shown her own work at Phantom Theater, and teaches at Contemporary Dance and Fitness Studio, The Everything Space and Montpelier Senior Activity Center.
      In 2005, MC founded the Hopkins Center’s Children’s Creative Dance Program at Dartmouth and taught every class until 2012 when her family relocated to Philadelphia.  
As a faculty member at Dartmouth she was fortunate to perform with, and choreograph for, the Dartmouth Dance Theater Ensemble and she was a frequent guest teacher in the advanced modern dance classes.
      In Philadelphia, MC met Keila Cordova and was introduced to Dance for PD.  She attended the Teacher Training Workshop in Brooklyn in 2013 and taught movement for PD classes for two years in Philadelphia. Currently, she is excited to teach dance for PD classes here in Montpelier once she is vaccinated. 

Rosemary Leach (she/her) has been involved with CD&FS for as long as she can remember. She trained with Lorraine Neal throughout the 1980’s and was a member of the original Teen Jazz. After studying dance at Hampshire College and the Five College Consortium, she continued to center her life around dance while fulfilling other life interests such as love, travel and family. She performed and taught dance in California, Arizona, Maine and Montana before settling back down in 2001 to raise a family in central Vermont. CD&FS is again her dance home, providing her the opportunity for creative, joyful, community connection— for that she is infinitely grateful.
Rose is currently Co-Director of Teen Jazz, alongside Isadora Snapp, and teaches several weekly class at CD&FS.
