We would like to highlight a dancer in our association, Marie Wooters from Scappoose Vision.
Marie hosted a Drill Down clinic for dancers in her community for her NHS Individual Service Project. Not only did she help build up skills for younger dancers, but raised $500 that she then donated to our Scholarship Fund.
Thank you Marie for your hard work, dedication, and generosity to our association!
