Rosalie & Alva - School Of Ballet

Rosalie and Alva started their career as a dance team in 1941, the year they were married. They were some of the pioneers of television, dancing on the Spade Coolie show on KTLA with Stan Chambers, and performing in the Radebough Melodiers. They danced at the Coconut Grove, Tom Brenamen's, Biltmore Hotel, Florentine Gardens, many theaters, and several movie studios together. They worked as a team from 1941 to 1956, traveling in this country and abroad. Performing in Yugoslavia in 1956, Rosalie became pregnant with her second son. In 1952, her husband built her this beautiful dance studio and theater in San Pedro, his first port of embarkation in America. They settled down to a teaching career and performed in their own productions. Today they live a quiet life together on their three-quarters of an acre of land in Rancho Palos Verdes. Alva is 93 and Rosalie is 86. They have just celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary!
