About the Director, Suzanne Steinbach
Suzanne began dance education at age 4. Her mother
was a dance teacher and started her in the school that she trained, The Crystal School of Dance. Suzanne took class with Mrs.
Dorothea Riegert for 2 years and then transferred to her mother's school where she studied all forms of dance...Ballet, Tap,
Jazz and Acrobatics. When she was 11 years old, Suzanne decided to add more ballet into her already full schedule and began
studying with Theresa Cura at The Village Dance Studio. Suzanne still desired more for her training and auditioned for The
Mt. Laurel Regional Ballet when she was 15. After 1-2 years of intense study with Lorraine McAdams, she was accepted into
the Corps de Ballet of The Mt. Laurel Regional Ballet Company.
Suzanne continued her studies taking classes with such renowned instructors as Dorothy Lister, Jamie Salmon, Finis Jhung,
Alexei Yudenich, Patti Harris, Lizanne McAdams-Graham, Kerina Connor, Jerry Rose, Brad Parquette, plus many more. Suzanne
also began teaching at The Lowe Dance Studio helping her mother with the full load of teaching responsibilities she was responsible
for. Suzanne loved teaching and choreographing and decided this would be her career. She has taught in many local dance studios
and has created a ballet program at Lowe Dance Studio that has been compared to many professional institutions for training
young ballerina's-to-be.
To give her students more performance experience, Suzanne formed a dance ensemble for Lowe Dance Studio. Thus, The Voorhees
Danse Ensemble emerged. The Voorhees Danse Ensemble are the serious dancers of The Voorhees Ballet Theatre and Lowe Dance
who perform all over the Delaware Valley.
Suzanne is married to a wonderful, patient husband and they have 4 beautiful children. The Steinbach family is a dancing/performing
family. All 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy) dance and perform every opportunity. Suzanne's husband has even joined the
family and studies ballet and performs when he gets the chance.
