Dylis Croman started her professional career in New York City dancing with The Feld Ballets/NY at the age of seventeen. She has been working professionally in the business going for over 30 years. Croman’s credits include Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’, Nine at The Kennedy Center, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity, Oklahoma, Thou Shalt Not, Fosse, Movin’ Out, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. On television, she appeared as Andrew Daniels on “Guiding Light”, “Smash” on NBC and Fosse (trumpet solo, filmed for PBS “Great Performances”), as well as the movie musical “Kiss of the Spiderwoman” as Jennifer Lopez’s stand in and creative consultant. She was introduced to the Fosse style at an early age by her mentor, Ann Reinking. Croman was deeply inspired by her teaching of this unique, stylized form of dance that powerfully resonates to this day. She now stars in her dream role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago the musical. When not onstage, Dylis is deeply passionate about sharing the legacy of the late greats Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon’s work with the up and coming generations of artists.
