Cheryl trained in ballet and modern dance from an early age, taking classes in NJ, NY, Philadelphia, and Portland, Oregon. In 1979, she moved to New Orleans and began studying with Kathryne Cassis of the New Orleans Duncan Dancers. Cheryl traveled to NJ to be coached by Hortense Kooluris and began performing with Kathryne as the Isadora Duncan Repertory Dancers. Cheryl moved to Mandeville, LA where she taught Duncan technique and repertory at Ballet Apetrei and her own school called "Vive Isadora!" In 1994, Cheryl traveled to Athens, Greece to dance at the dedication of The Duncan House with Duncan dancers from many countries. Cheryl now lives in Tampa, FL and teaches ballet and modern dance at Dance World.
In 2012, Cheryl and her daughter met Ligoa Duncan and her son Michel on the Queen Mary II, sailing from New York to Southampton. The three Duncans performed in the ship's talent show, keeping alive the Duncan salon tradition. Cheryl danced the Blue Danube, Ligoa sang French country songs, and Michel read his original poems.
