✨ Dance Research Spotlight ✨ 
This summer, dance major Samantha Walker was awarded funding by the Office of Undergraduate Research & Inquiry as a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (SURF). Her research project looked at the impact of student mentorship within integrated dance programs for dancers with disabilities. 

Samantha created and distributed surveys as well as conducted interviews with program directors, volunteers, and experts within the field of dance and disability. Her work will culminate in a documentary that shares her findings & highlights these case studies.

Senior Ambar Cesari co-founded “Groove Impact,” a community dance organization that is collaborating with Upsurge Dance Company & Orlando Health’s Children’s Miracle Network to raise funds for kids’ comfortability during hospital stays. Groove Impact will host a series of master classes on July 20 and is slated to host a “Day of Dance” event this September. Check out https://groove4good.com for more information. Ambar shared: 

“This past year, our family went through a life-changing experience in which led us to witnessing firsthand the impact of music and dance as part of a recovery process. As a family who’s been around dance and music all of our lives it was important for us to share our story and share our knowledge. We want to be able to give back to the community allowing us to explore celebrate all of the positive impacts dancing music has on our mental emotional and physical health.”

Our final senior spotlight is dance major and exercise science minor, Carly Dell!

FAVORITE UT DANCE MEMORY:
“It is seriously impossible to choose just one memory with all the incredible experiences I’ve had in this program. Choreographing for dance happening as well as being in my best friends pieces for happening each semester has brought me some of my greatest friends and experienced me to so many different ways of moving. Hanging out during show weeks in the theater and dressing rooms, laughing together in the studios and just dancing around people who love this program as much as I do has been so incredibly special. Lastly, I am so grateful for my time at the ACDA southeastern conference in Charleston, SC this past March. I had the best time ever and got so much closer with so many girls in the program and got to present my undergraduate research!”

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
“I will be continuing to grow my passion for both teaching and dance education in this next chapter of my life! I am hoping to work in an area that allows me to focus on community engagement in dance and using dance as a tool to connect with others.“

A MESSAGE FOR INCOMING FRESHMAN:
“Take advantage of every single moment and don’t be afraid to talk to someone new. This program was my favorite part of my four years and brought me some of the people I love most. So excited to see where the future of this program goes, and will forever be a proud alumni❤️”

Congratulations cdell29 !! Thank you for all you have done for this program. #doitwithlove❤️ 2025-05-10 03:23:26 .. 81 -22% 15 +56%

We couldn’t be more proud of our DAN450 capstone class for completing their final presentations. These presentations were a semester long research project where students worked to intersect dance with an outside interest of theirs to create their own company. We got to see mental health, retail, advertising and public relations, coding and community service intersect with dance!

Happy Monday! Today’s senior spotlight is psychology major, Gina Schmidt.

FAVORITE UT DANCE MEMORY:
“There are too many favorites to pick just one. My favorite part about UT dance are the lasting friendships I have made. As a non major or minor, I was unsure how I would fit into this program. I have have been given so much love and support through every up and down by these people. You have changed my life for the better. I suppose a favorite memory would be watching my friends turn into choreographers. It’s so inspiring getting to watch their creations come to life and even getting to be apart of some of their processes. I’d be lying if winning the 2024 Emerging Choreographer Anzia Award wasn’t another favorite memory. Not only was I given the opportunity to choreograph as a non major but I ran with the opportunity! I also have to mention our kiki’s in Ferman and the snacks during show week :) I couldn’t be more thankful for all this program has given me ❤️”

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
“My next chapter is in the works of course. However, I plan to move to Boston in the near future and continue my dance career while seeking psychology related employment opportunities. I also plan to go back to school for a masters in Mental Health Counseling and continue my love of helping others. The future is an intimidating place but full of possibility!”

A MESSAGE FOR INCOMING FRESHMAN:
“Freshman, you’re gonna hear this a lot but be open to all experiences and make the most of it all. As a senior I can confidently say that I took every opportunity I could and I love the full college experience I got, nothing can replace it. If I hadn’t, I know I would’ve regretted it. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.. cheesy but so true. You never know who you’ll meet where or what new things you realize you love. Take risks, trust yourself, and always be kind!! ”
