Ms. Stucko has been dancing on scholarship at the Paul Taylor school since 2021 and since then has performed many works by Mr. Taylor, such as Runes, Aureole, Brandenburgs, Polaris, Arden Court, Airs, Duet, Esplanade, and Sports and Follies.

She has danced major works by Lucinda Childs, Lar Lubovitch, Doug Varone, Visceral Chicago, Nimbus2, Lydia Johnson Dance, Caterina Rago Dance Company, Hope Boykin, David Grenke, Alison Cook Beatty Dance and apprenticed with Zvi Gotheiner to name a few.

She has been so fortunate to have received a multitude of scholarships to programs such as American Dance Festival, Limon, Gibney and Taylor intensives. These programs have all fueled the dancer she is today!
