LITTLE DANCERS TAKE A BREAK – Young dancers take a break during the first Youth Dance Camp to benefit Special Olympics Louisiana, organized by Southeastern Louisiana University Lionette Kimberly Dottolo (far left) when she wore the Miss Southeastern crown. Dottolo, now a graduate student, is continuing the camp this year on Feb. 4 at the University Center. It is open to children in grades kindergarten-six.
HAMMOND – Young dancers in kindergarten through sixth grade are invited to participate in a Youth Dance Camp Saturday, Feb. 4, at Southeastern Louisiana University.
The camp is being coordinated for the second time by graduate student Kimberly Dottolo of Ponchatoula, a member of the university’s national award-winning Lionettes dance team. Proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics Louisiana.
Dottolo first organized the camp as part of her platform as Miss Southeastern 2004. She said she wants to continue the activity as an annual event supporting Special Olympics. Her camp partners are the Lionettes, Lionette Alumni and Southeastern Athletics.
Registration for the camp, which is scheduled from noon-3 p.m. at the University Center, is $5 and will include a ticket to the 3 p.m. Lady Lions vs. Texas-San Antonio basketball game, also at the UC. Camp participants will perform during the game’s halftime and be recognized on the public address system during the game.
Campers are asked to wear a green or gold t-shirt and to bring a small snack and drink.
To register for the camp, send the registration fee (made payable to Special Olympics Louisiana) along with name, grade, and the name and telephone number of a contact person to Kimberly Dottolo, P.O. Box 1233, Hammond, LA 70404. Registration forms are also available at the Southeastern Alumni Center at 500 W. University Avenue.
