Proposal Outcome
Grant Description
Through this project, I hope to attend weekly classes this summer, as well as attending 2-3 dance performances in New York City, and participating in a Summer Intensive with Gaga Movement in August. As a rising fourth year, I would like to take this opportunity to explore the dance community outside of UVa and continue to build upon the experiences I’ve had here before going into my final year.
Original Proposal
Title
Dance Training and Movement Research

Carolyn Diamond began dancing when she was 8 years old and immediately fell in love with it. She trained at the Pulse Performing Arts Studio in Bedford Hills, NY in ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, and tap. Additionally, she was on the competition team that competed in regional and national competitions along the East Coast and was a part of a performance company that participated in many local benefits. She also participated in Summer Intensives at Broadway Dance Center with Sheila Barker, with the American Academy of Ballet, and with American Dance Training Camps, and she has performed at various venues, ranging from local nursing homes to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios. Carolyn is honored to be accepted to the Miller Arts Scholars Program and is excited to continue her dance education and collaborate with new artists.
