About Me

Sheri Mendelsohn,  Artistic Director

Ms Sheri attended Wheaton Studio of Dance in Wheaton, Maryland from the age of five until age 19. She studied ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, musical theatre, acrobatics and baton under her teacher and mentor, Joni Reese. In 1969 Sheri auditioned for Russell Markert, director/choreographer for the world famous Radio City Music Hall Rockettes in New York City. Two weeks later she was living her dream to be a Rockette on the Radio Music Hall stage.

Sheri has taken classes with Peter Gennaro, Luigi, Gus Giordano, Judy Rice and many others.

Sheri taught in Studio I, a dance studio in NYC for 5 years before returning to Maryland to raise a family. She taught in Montgomery County for over 30 years, teaching young children, as early as 2 years, through adult on up to pro level dancers. Many of her students have gone on to join Radio City Music Hall, Broadway musicals and New York City Ballet Companies.

Sheri was Tap Director of Potomac Dance Center for over 20 years. While there, she traveled with 35 students from the Potomac Dance Center in Potomac, MD to Shanghai, China to perform and tour neighboring provinces.

Sheri has performed in Jazz on Tap in Atlanta, Georgia in 1994 and although she has hung up her performing shoes, except for her own recitals, Sheri loves teaching her students. Sheri is very proud of her new up coming, already winning competition teams, Sparks, Twinkle, Flame and Blaze Teams.
