Annette Lewis fell in love with dance in her twenties, while designing and building costumes for some Atlanta dancers, who encouraged her to sign up for a few classes. Within a year, she had sold her design business and was dancing full-time. After several years of performing and studying in Atlanta and New York, Lewis began teaching, choreographing and doing residencies through the Georgia Council of the Arts' "Artists in the Schools" education initiative. She also developed an intensive youth dance-study group and curriculum that, for several years served as The Atlanta Ballet's outreach program, named Good Moves by mentors Robert Barnett and Tom Pazik.

While Ms. Annette (as some former students still call her) has retired from teaching, her greatest joy is catching up with former Good Moves kids -  who are all over the globe now, as dancers, choreographers, directors, educators, movement therapists, sports doctors, critics, coaches, arts and entertainment lawyers.... The list goes on, but all are connected by the magic of human movement! So it's no surprise that Annette Lewis continues to explore her own movement possibilities, with the generous help and support of the absolutely fab Paris Dancers, as part of "Senior Moments". So much fun!

 

Cherilynn Paris was her idol when she was in high school, and  she still is!

    Forever dancing, Annette Lewis.
