Diamond Dolls

Daly began dancing at the age of 3 at Allegro School of Dance and Music. After playing basketball for 2 years in fifth and sixth grade, she decided to tell her dad, the coach, that she wanted to pursue ballet instead and was cast as Clara in her first Nutcracker Ballet. From the Joffrey Ballet School New York City to competitions in Minneapolis and Chicago to the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, Tulie’s high school days were jam-packed with ballet, cheerleading, and dance team. Five short years after quitting basketball, she convinced her past coach to join her onstage in her last two Nutcracker performances with Allegro. This experience gave Tulie her favorite dancing memory: “watching film” with her dad after dress rehearsal so they would both be ready for the performances the following day.  Most recently, she was hired as the youngest Company member in the Continental Ballet Company. Thirty hours of ballet per week has her really excited for the Diamond Doll season to begin. She’s super pumped to be outside watching baseball and performing with some of Rochester’s bubbliest and most talented dancers!

Ms. Harris is thrilled to be returning as a Diamond Doll veteran this season. She began her dance training at the age of two and has studied all genres. Her performance experiences include working with Children’s Dance Theatre, performing various roles in The Nutcracker, including the Arabian soloist and dancing with the world famous Moscow Ballet. Harris was a member of the Crescendo Dance Company and competition team where she traveled to competitions all across the Midwest. She was also a founding member of the Lourdes High School Dance Team, and served as captain of both LHSDT and the Lourdes cheerleading team. Ms. Harris plans to continue her dance education by pursuing a dance minor.
