The scholarships, named in memory of former students Ashleigh Bruner, Shay Dixon, Jacquline Egolf, Melissa Eigenberg Vogt, Emma Martin, Lori Rigsby, Madison Shipley, Payton Slaymaker and former dance parent Cindy Crane, were developed by the studio to offer opportunities to students through financial assistance and also encourage students through the recognition of their efforts, according to a news release from Debra Collier’s School of Dance. Each recipient submitted an essay on an era of dance that inspired them and why. The recipients, Olivia Mabee, Kate See and Violet Silveus, each received a scholarship for one class for the 2024-25 annual season.
“As I read the reports,” said instructor Tammy Seibold, “I saw a consistent theme of passion for dance. Regardless of the era that inspired these dancers, the love of dance was the same.”
