Carol Paumgarten
Advisory Chair (2014-2020)
As the founder of Steps on Broadway and advisory chair of the Steps Beyond Foundation, we owe Carol so much – from her generosity of spirit to her unwavering support. She was part visionary, creative force, dedicated arts patron, collaborator, business woman, and great friend. Her passion for dance and beauty inspired the creation of Steps. An outgrowth of her vision, the foundation extends her legacy by offering opportunities for dancers to perform and grow as artists.
