Ashley Peters Becomes
First Student
Dance Teacher
| |
The Dance Program at the School of Art has been experiencing many changes this fall. Long- time Jazz and Tap instructor, Sharon Warncke, will be cutting back on her teaching schedule after 10 years to pursue a full-time job. Ashley Peters, a Proctor High School senior, was chosen as her replacement. The daughter of Rosalie and Carl Peters of Utica, Ashley studied Ballet, Jazz and Tap at MWPAI for 12 years. She has also worked as assistant to Jazz/Tap instructor, Kathy Ryan.
Ashley excels at mathematics and is involved in extracurricular activities including: president of the local chapter of Best Buddies International which is dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships; Proctor yearbook editor; and National Honor Society. She also works part-time at the Sitrin Home.
This summer Ashley was accepted, by audition, to the New York State Summer School of the Arts. She performed the work of choreographer Robert Battle, whom she met when he was creating a commissioned work while in residence at MWPAI.
Ashley and other MWPAI dancers will be featured in the upcoming production of The Nutcracker, December 12, 13, 14, where she will perform the Arabian Dance.
