Katie Ann Powell is a senior and third year member of the Hillcrest dance company. She is so grateful that this year she got to serve the company as their president. Katie Ann Powell is excited to attend BYU next fall where she will start taking GE's and figure out what she needs to go into. If she isn't on the dance floor, you can find her whooping her family in a nerf gun war, jamming to star wars music on her harp, or practicing her disney princess signatures. As her last fortune cookie advised her: "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." She would like to thank Chelsea Lujan, her previous dance teachers, and her family that taught her she could dance. She would like to advise that no matter how often the world tells you that you cannot be a dancer, dance your heart out and prove them wrong. As Katie Ann would say, "Everyone moves, therefore everyone can dance. Whether you dance on a stage or dance in your home, dance for joy."

Alex is Hillcrest's vocal performance sterling scholar and recently won second runner up for sterling scholar at the state level. Alex serves as Hillcrest theatre department's secretary. Alex is planning to attend Brigham Young University in the fall to study vocal pedagogy, elementary education and English. Alex is unimaginably grateful to Ms. Lujan and all of the teachers at Hillcrest that have been patient and cooperative enough to allow her to pursue all of her passions. Alex owes everything to her angel mother, without whom she could not function, and to her father who has and always will be her biggest fan.

When she is not dancing, you can find her teaching dance classes, making jewelry, or spilling things all over herself.
