Lauren Evans, Arts Bridge Scholar
I am Lauren Evans and I am an Arts Bridge Scholar. I've always loved to teach. When I was little I would teach my sisters the "right way" to eat string cheese You don't bite it, gross. I found my love of dance through trying to get out of taking PE. I grew up in Kansas City, KS and in the school district if you were on the dance team you didn't have to take PE. I had no formal training of dance until I was thrust on the dance team and learned how to make it work. I kept dancing as it gave me an outlet of communication that laid dormant until I found expression through dance. As I kept dancing and choreographing through the years it seemed abundantly clear that all I wanted to do for the rest of my life was dance and teach dance and then dance some more. Thus, I am a senior at Brigham Young University majoring in Dance Education. This semester I get to teach integrated classroom material to 2nd graders at Butterfield Canyon Elementary in Herriman,
