We have two sons, Michael and Krystian. Our family pets are two Brittany Spaniels, Buddy and Lucky. I began my career in ballroom dancing as a teenager and competed on an international level for many years in Europe with my late first husband, Roman Chraczynski. Our son, Krystian, started dancing when he was five-years-old and competed in numerous competitions, until recently. I continued dancing for a few years in the United States with Bill Millner, and then began teaching ballroom dance as a private instructor. In the course of my career, I have worn many hats including that of my own designer and seamstress and later of other dancers.
