Friends of Dance
Sally A. Radell Friends of Dance Scholarship
 |
Student Sharon Sibley received a Friends of Dance scholarship in 2006 and used it to attend the American Dance Festival. |
The Sally A. Radell Friends of Dance Scholarship Program was established in 1996 to make summer dance study more accessible to Emory students. It enables a student to study either in the United States or abroad with notable practicing artists, dance programs, and dance companies of his or her choice.
In 2008 the scholarship was named the Sally A. Radell Friends of Dance Scholarship in honor of Sally Radell, the founding director of the Emory Dance Program, who also established the Friends of Dance organization during her tenure as the program director.
"There is nothing compared to the feeling of being surrounded by so many amazing, driven, and friendly dancers all gathered to learn and train and further the general aura of artistic possibility." -Kirsten Cooper, Bates Dance Festival 2009
"I bear gifts of new ideas about dance, improved technique, new found confidence, body awareness I did not possess before, deeper appreciation for dance, and my nostalgia for ADF. This was a life changing experience. Everyone was right. ADF IS MAGICAL!" -Tiffany Greenwood, American Dance Festival, 2009
"Having attended the ADF, I am even more passionate about becoming a dancer, a teacher, an influential contributor to this one-of-a-kind art form. I learned, I watched, I performed, I matured … and I am so, so grateful for the experience." -Caitlin Yuhas, American Dance Festival, 2009
