She has presented two pieces at the American College Dance Association Conference, “Sweetheart Sentiment” in 2024 and “September Song” in 2025, presented two dance history based senior capstone projects, “Tulle Through Time: Identity, Innovation, and the Importance of the Ballet Tutu” and “Curtains and Choreography: Dance Diplomacy Across Cold War Borders”, was named a Stukes Scholar for ranking first academically in the 2025 senior class, and was the recipient of the Dance Department Award for Creative Excellence in 2025.

The next senior in our Senior Summer Showcase is Alexandria Corn! Alexandria is a business management major and dance minor from Lompoc, California. Her favorite styles of dance include jazz and hip hop. Her favorite SDT dance was “Did Something Happen” choreographed by Bridget Roosa because of how meaningful and important the message was behind it. Alexandria not only danced, but choreographed multiple pieces in her time in SDT. Her pieces “Angel: Broken Words” and “Haunted: Whispers of the Departed” allowed her to grow and shaped how she approached choreography today. Her piece, “Hauned: Whispers of the Departed” was presented at the American College Dance Association Conference in 2025. In addition to being apart of SDT, Alexandria was also President of the Access Redefined club and a student worker at the Center for Digital and Visual Literacy (CDVL) at Agnes Scott. After graduation, Alexandria has multiple jobs lined up. She works as a Youth Program Instructor and Group Exercise Instructor at a local nonprofit, freelances in marketing and guest choreography for local colleges and high schools, and is interning with OUR Rescue for marketing. On top of everything, she is also starting a business for Hula and Tahitian dancing in her hometown. Join us in sending good vibes to Alexandria! 💜✨🎓

Up next in our Senior Summer Showcase is Laine Weber! Laine is a French and English Literature Creative Writing double major from Rome, Georgia.

The next graduate in line for Senior Summer Shoutout is Leah Lipshutz! Leah is a dance major with a minor in English from Dunwoody, Georgia. Her favorite style of dance is modern and her favorite dance class was Labanotation. “Did Something Happen” choreographed by Bridget Roosa was Leah’s favorite dance performed during her time at Agnes Scott. She says, “The subject matter is so important and the performances each came with their own challenges. It helped me connect my classes to performances and the outside world of Agnes.” Leah had the chance to present her choreography “Wooded Company” at the American College Dance Association Conference in 2024. She would like to thank the SDT community and Bridget for believing in her and pushing her to be the best that she can be. Join us in congratulating Leah! ✨💜🎓
