Ella Schwakopf ’25

“Being a part of the dance program at Gustavus has brought me a sense of joy. Through experiences onstage and in the studio, the department has helped me find and explore my own sense of movement. The faculty truly pushes, supports, and cares about your growth as an individual. Becoming involved in the Theatre & Dance Department was easily the highlight of my first year. Being able to perform and represent the department in Chirstmas in Christ Chapel was such a joy, and that was entirely due to the support I received from my fellow performers and faculty throughout the process.”
