In 1991, after finishing a music video with Christian artist Carmen, she and her husband moved to Virginia. She held the title of Artistic Director of Toes the dance studio. Upon arriving in Amarillo, she worked her way up to Associate Artistic Director for the Stepping Out program. This was a program offering dance to students in the Amarillo/Canyon public schools.
