Lily Kons ’25

Orchesis was the first group I joined at Allegheny, and it has been central to my college experience. Having danced since I was two, I knew I wanted to continue pursuing my passion, and Orchesis provided the perfect outlet. Since my first year, I’ve been both a board member and choreographer, roles that have deepened my love for dance and collaboration. My favorite memory is choreographing for this year’s show. I chose a song that truly resonated with me, and my dancers brought the piece to life in a way that filled me with pride. From the excitement of rehearsals to the thrill of seeing it performed on stage, the experience was unforgettable. Beyond choreographing, I cherish the countless backstage moments with friends—moments filled with laughter, support, and camaraderie. These memories are irreplaceable, and I’m profoundly grateful for the community Orchesis has given me.
