She continued her studies at the Ballet Hysell school, studying with Mr. Harvey Hysell and Maestro Vincenzo Celli, a foremost teacher of the Cecchetti ballet method.  She went on to dance with the Nashville Ballet, and next with the the Alabama Ballet under the direction of Wes Chapman.  She was featured in both contemporary and classical works, partnered with Chapman himself, and quickly rose to the rank of principal dancer.  Ms. Matulich left the Alabama Ballet to work with choreographer Kenn Tolle, for whom she performed and toured nationally as the principal dancer with his Christian ballet company, Hosanna Sacred Arts.
