On returning to the United States, Suzannah worked in administrative roles at Gibney Dance and joined Brice Mousset’s Company, Oui Danse, for their 2018 season at New York Live Arts.
After receiving her yoga instructor certification from the Kripalu Center, Suzannah began teaching dance, offering classes in contemporary dance, ballet, creative movement and composition. She co-choreographed the dance film FLOODSTREAM with Erin K. McNulty, which garnered multiple accolades in both the US and Europe. As a lead teacher at Motion Arts Dance Studios, Suzannah developed pre-pointe and contemporary dance programs that helped students gain admission to top university dance programs. In 2023, she began her Pilates certification through The Space School, further integrating anatomy into her teaching.
Recently, Suzannah was invited to present a work-in-progress of her newest piece, Olivia, at Arts on Site, and at NYU’s Frederick Lowe Theater. She currently teaches at the 92nd street Y in New York City within the Dance Education Lab programming.
