Vohl hopes to dance her way onto Broadway Droadway. That place where so many great stars get started and so many hearts are broken. The place where promising actresses, actors, and dancers put every ounce of talent and courage they possess into that one goal of 'making it'. It has promised fame and fortune to a select group and senior. Crystal Vohl, decided she too would like to be one of the selected few. I'd like to train five more years after high school and then try to dance on Broadway. I want to make it real big!'' Crystal began dancing at the age of three. Her interest in the art developed due to her mother, who taught both dance and gymnastics. Throughout her many years of training Crystal learned adageo, ballet, interpretive, jazz, and tap dance. My favorite types of dance are ballet and jazz.'' While many NHS students found jobs in Norfolk for the summer, Crystal spent her summer dancing in New York and Denver. She began her summer with the Hoctor Dance Caravan, which traveled throughout New York. Some of the caravan leaders mentioned an art center in Denver and got me interested in spending the rest of the summer dancing there. The training Crystal received in Denver was both demanding and beneficial. The school had dance classes from 8:00 A.M. -3:00 P.M. and then required that students be back by 7:00 P.M. for more training. The grueling day finally came to an end at 10:00 P.M. I really liked the training I received. There were so many different teachers and they were all professionals. They taught you a lot in a very short time. Crystal stayed in a dorm with 600 kids of all ages while in Denver. Not all the kids were there for dancing; some were involved in art and music. While all the students weren't interested in the same area they had one thing in common, they took their talents seriously. All the dancers put their feelings into their dancing and learned as much as they could. Crystal's many years of training proved very fruitful. While in Denver she was chosen as one of ten dancers to earn a scholarship to Europe for the summer of 1982. It was quite a feat considering she competed against 379 other dancers. “I'm really excited about going to Europe. I'll get to train with professionals and many of the better professional dancers come from Europe. I'll get to tour Europe at the same time. Crystal's dancing honors didn't stop with her scholarship to Europe. During the fall of her senior year she took first place in her dance division in a St. Louis competition. The win enabled Crystal to travel to many different states to perform her routine. While finishing her senior year at NHS Crystal had to stay in shape and continue training for her future goal of dancing on Broadway. I take a class every Monday and help my mom teach in her studio all week. I begin going to Omaha every Saturday for four hours of dance class in January. Earning the scholarship was a big step toward her goal and upon returning Crystal's plans included enrolling in a dance college in California or New York. Crystal grew up dancing and if her dreams of the future hold true Norfolk can add another name to its list of successes. 22 SENIORS
