Jennifer Clay ’21

Orchesis was a chance to relax away from school and work. It didn’t matter how good you were or how much experience you had. There was a place for everyone, which is part of what makes Orchesis so special. I came to Orchesis with very little dance experience and was placed in multiple contemporary, jazz, and ballet pieces. The choreographers always believed in you and provided the space to try. Orchesis is one of the things I miss most about Allegheny.
