This year one of her students will be a new avatar in THE WAY OF WATER, being released in December 2022.

appointed by President Bill Clinton to the Distinguished Teachers' White House Commission on Presidential Scholars. 

She has been honored to be a part of the American Passport for PBS, as a featured Floridian.

A former professional dancer, Rolann was the childhood partner of Michael Bennett. 

Her dance studies continued with Matt Mattox, Eugene Loring, Peter Gennaro, Paul Draper, Roy and Jane Dodge; with her Bachelor and Masters degrees (Summa cum Laude) from the Juilliard School.
