Born in Boston in 1953, Joyce Cuoco danced as a child with Boston Ballet and first appeared on national television at the age of twelve (on the Danny Kaye Show, choreographed by former Pillow student Tony Charmoli). As a “baby ballerina,” she made celebrated appearances at Radio City Music Hall and on TV’s Ed Sullivan Show in the 1960s. She made her Pillow debut in 1970, dancing the lead role in Ruth Page’s Alice in the Garden, and later became a soloist with John Cranko’s Stuttgart Ballet. She continued her Pillow appearances until 1983, partnered by Youri Vamos, John Wey Ling, and others, before assisting Vamos for many years at Düsseldorf’s Deutsche Oper am Rhein and elsewhere in Europe.
