WARSAW — The recipients of six memorial scholarships were announced at Debra Collier’s School of Dance. The scholarships, named in memory of former students Ashleigh Bruner, Jacquline Egolf, Kurt Engler, Emma Martin and Lori Rigsby 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. Applicants were divided into age categories and each submitted a creative report corresponding with the studio’s recital theme, “Service with a Smile.”

Each report described a three course “dance meal” including song choices, dance styles, costumes, etc.  The recipients, Hailey Borsa, Elle Brouwer, Taylor Drang, Tiffany Moore, Maeley O’Brien and Claire Walker, each received a class scholarship from the studio for the 2018-2019 annual season.

Debra Collier’s School of Dance has been educating students since 1977 and offers a wide variety of classes for dancers of all ages and levels. The studio provides many opportunities for students to develop their interest in dance, including performance groups and fun monthly themes. Registration is currently open for the studio’s summer session. For more information about the programs offered, contact the studio at (574) 267-7055 or visit collierdance.com.
