Nancy Dow received her ballet training in New York City. She graduated with honors in Dance from Smith College. Unfortunately, injuries precluded a full performing career. Nancy loves to teach and persevered despite the change in plans. She completed courses in ballet teacher training with Don Farnworth and taught at his school in New York. She has expertise with all levels of ballet students, from 5-year olds through adult professionals. She has taught for ten years in Manhattan and has taught extensively in New Jersey. Throughout her career, Nancy has directed, created, and revamped ballet programs. Dancers from the Paul Taylor and Jose Limon dance companies have benefitted from her class. Former students have gone on to dance with New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. Nancy Dow is an American Ballet Theater (ABT) Certified Teacher, successfully completing the ABT Teacher Training Intensive in Pre-Primary through Level 7 of the ABT National Training Curriculum. Congratulations Nancy!
