Dangerous Curves is about the beauty of music and the strength of self. Each woman brings her own take on music, fashion and the pursuit of happiness. You may even find a bit of yourself in Lisa or Gret or Karen. Meet the Curves:

Karen is the alto of the group and is the epitome of positive energy and enthusiasm. She is a vivacious, curvy redhead -- just try to keep up with her energy!

Although she is the resident alto of the group, the girls sometimes make her venture into scary territory…like singing the melody!!! Karen has traveled the world singing for dignitaries and working with such celebrities as Toni Tennille and Diahann Carroll. Her education ranges from Citrus College for vocal performance to Berklee School of Music for piano and jazz studies (ongoing). Privately, she studies voice and performance with Joanie Zajac, and Michael Chapman.She has truly begun to work on the art of Cabaret, most recently with Lina Koutrakos and Rick Jensen. Currently, Karen is writing her first ever solo cabaret show called “Walkin thru life in my Jimmy Choos” (working title). However, her greatest joy is when she became a first time Mom to Skyler! Who knew that sleep was actually a luxury?! IF you need to know more about Karen, check her out on the web at www.karenmerstikmichaels.com
