Ever since I was 8 years old, my answer to the inevitable question of “What to do you want to be when you grow up?” has always been, “A dancer and a missionary”. I cannot remember a time when I was not dancing, and dance is one of my greatest passions. My dream is to one day become a professional dancer and share the joy of dance with others, but I don’t want to just stop there. I hope to reach children in inner cities and poor areas of America who do not have access to dance, and bring them both dance and the gospel, a powerful combination which can forever change a child’s life. I also would love to go on missions trips to bring dance to children in other impoverished nations.

She loved dance, and invested herself in the lives of so many of her students, giving them an opportunity to experience this beautiful art form. Even now, her dedication to dance is enabling others to pursue their dance dreams, through the Tiffany Mogenson Fund. Numerous students, including myself, have been able to enjoy dance opportunities we would not have otherwise had, because of the generosity of The Tiffany Mogenson Fund. This past fall, I was honored with one of these scholarships and it paid for preparatory private lessons and audition fees for summer intensives. I was thrilled to be accepted into four intensives, and I have accepted a spot in the Atlanta Ballet Advanced Summer Intensive. Without the scholarship I would not have had this opportunity, and I am so grateful to Tiffany Mogenson and the Tiffany Mogenson Memorial

Dancing her way through the aisle to receive her Deans Key award, no one would have ever thought that senior AnnMary Chemmachel battled with anxiety during her nursing education at Lewis University.
I have been dancing since the age of four. I started my intense training with Tanju and Patricia Tuzer, Debra Bale, and Linda Brown at Tuzer Ballet. I developed as a dancer, attending every summer intensive performing in every show, advancing from intermediate to apprentice to junior company and finally to senior company. The dance studio became my second home. I took classes in ballet, pointe, modern, contemporary, tap, jazz, lyrical jazz, theatrical movement, hip-hop, zumba, and African-Ballet, pointe, contemporary, and lyrical jazz being my favorites. Even w...
Lynnsey Tabor was born on April 30th 2002. She had brown hair and blue eyes. When she was younger, she was the nicest and the sweetest girl without a care in the world. She was a lot like me. Always with the guys and hated the prissy girls. She would always go to her grandpa’s house on her dad’s side of the family and all of her cousins were boys. So, she would always do the things they did, such as Legos, batman, video games and Youtube. She was a lot like me in some of those ways.

“Adam Forsett is the name, and working for a crappy high school is indeed my shame” He screamed inside of his car as the windows began to fog up. He left his car with a hurry to hide his lunch in the back of the tiny refrigerator,slamming his door shut. He straightened his tie and fixed the hair piece on top of his head. As Mr.forsett gazed up at the tiny rectangular school that pays him so much, that he lives in a motel eating cotton candy every single night.
... social dance. Many people in today’s society enjoy social; dancing. Chapter eleven dance concert, properly planning and establishing a dance concert is of the utmost importance. The partnership with the lighting designer usually takes priority over all other factors. One of the most important issues concerning customers has to do with mobility. The dancer must be able to move comfortably in the costume. The task of producing a dance concert is an overwhelming and tiring one. Chapter twelve dance in education and career in dance, many dance educators present the argument that teaching and learning dance as an art form is obviously absent from the American student education.

However, New York Public Schools offered ballroom dancing classes to low-income students of color, which allowed the arts to be included in their curriculum. Watching the film, I observed the positive reaction the children had to the dance classes. Overall, they were exposed to different cultures, made new friendships, became more confident, and aware of different career options such as professional dancers or singers (Agrelo, 2005).
Tiffany Mogenson was a passionate dancer and teacher who loved her students and wanted nothing more than to help them fulfill their dreams through dance. She appears to have been a loving, kind individual who cared for each student who came into her studio. Through her studio, she wanted to help every child enjoy the love and passion for dance that she had. The Tiffany Mogenson Memorial Fund was created to carry on her legacy and the work that she started, and it continues to do just that through awarding scholarships to dance students throughout the US. Tiffany’s work and your continuation of her dream have inspired me in so many ways. Last April I was gifted with a generous scholarship from the Tiffany Mogenson Fund, which enabled me
Everyone in the neighborhood was afraid of Ms. Donovan’s house. It was a towering, gray victorian style structure with an unkempt, dying lawn, a splintering front deck, and a front door that the local kids liked to say was “stained with the blood of her enemies.” In all reality, it was just crimson paint, but no one had the heart to tell them that. Nobody in the neighborhood had ever been invited to go inside of Ms. Donovan’s home, but everybody assumed that what was inside was just as creepy. Ms. Donovan herself was not a particularly menacing figure.
I was selected to attend Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts as a freshman in the dance conservatory four years ago. In that time the rigorous artistic and academic environment that this school encourages has enabled me to explore my passion for dance, while also expanding my understanding of the world by participating in advanced academic coursework. The faculty at Booker T. Washington has helped mold me into the artist I am through constant corrections and encouragement.
As a dance instructor for Divine Children Dancers, I worked to promote the three above characteristics of a community. My main goal was to foster an environment and a dance studio where young girls could come and express themselves freely. Unfortunately, this was not always the case. The girls’ ages ranged from
Additionally, I am a youth leader at the church I attend. As a lifelong dancer, I am frequently asked to dance at churches. Upon noticing other youths who were interested in dance, but unable to afford formal dance classes, I took the initiative to restart the dance ministry and began producing routines while also mentoring younger girls. My passion for dance and ability to lead has allowed me to reach out to others. I believe these
My mom Tiffany Jones had my sister Holly with no help other that my Grandma Shelly. The father of my sister couldn’t handle a kid, so he ran off without helping my mom. My dad Sheridan Snyder met my mom and helped her take care of my sister. My dad and mom then fell in love and ended up getting married. After a few years of marriage, they had me. Although my sister did not belong to my dad so when my sister was about 6 years old my dad had officially adopted her.
As a child I always wanted to be in the spotlight. I was always the ham in family pictures, the one who had to excel past my brother, and be in the know of everything. When I was about twelve years old, I realized that entertaining people was what I was all about. Since I wasn’t any good at telling the jokes around the campfire or singing acappella, I thought about trying my dance skills. I liked dancing and I have always enjoyed music videos like Janet Jackson’s “Miss you much”, so I thought why not? What did I have to lose? With the support of my parents, particularly my mom, I went for the gusto.
