Introduction

Hello, I'm Kayla and welcome to my blog!  I am a junior at Moravian College and am double majoring in journalism and music.

I am blogging for my online journalism class and I have chosen to focus on the arts at Moravian College, including art, dance, music, and theatre.  Not only am I actively involved in the arts on campus, but I have been in involved in the arts for most of my life as well. 

I began singing in school choir in 3^rd grade and I’ve continued with it for the past 12 years.  My passion for music really grew while I was in high school, thanks largely to my school’s wonderful music program and music teachers, and I was a member of nearly every vocal ensemble offered at my high school. 

I did not start dancing until I was 11 years old, which by dancing standards is a bit late, but better late than never!  Ever since my first recital, I have loved dance.  I’ve taken every type of dance too, from ballet, modern, and lyrical to tap, jazz, and hip-hop. 

I got my first taste for theatre at the age of 15 when I participated in my first musical with a community youth theater and I’ve been hooked ever since.  I was a cast member in my high school’s productions of Anything Goes, Guys and Dolls, and 42^nd Street.  This past summer, I was accepted into a week-long musical theatre intensive in Philadelphia with the Broadway Dreams Foundation.  I also go and see shows regularly, especially on Broadway. 

As I said, I am very involved with the arts on campus as a member of:

• The Moravian Choir
• Vocalis
• Women’s Chorus
• The Moravian College Dance Company
• The Moravian College Theatre Company

And that's not all!  There's even more going on in the arts at Moravian outside of just the groups I'm in.  There is so much happening when it comes to arts at Moravian and I hope to blog about as much of it as possible throughout the semester.  Enjoy!
