Barbara Coles Elie ’79

Orchesis was a huge part of my Allegheny experience. From the moment I arrived freshman year, I looked forward to going to that little dance studio on top of Montgomery Hall and dancing with friends. During my time there, I had the privilege of dancing and working with so many wonderful people, and I received the guidance of a special advisor, Roseann Lyle. I could not have asked for a better college experience, one that prepared me for an academic career as a paralegal as well as many years of teaching dance and choreographing local plays.
