AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA
The Student Dance Production Board (SDPB) is a student organization at USF that provides opportunities for students to develop their own choreography and showcase their art in a professional manner. The Board is responsible for managing every aspect of the annual Student Dance Concert, which includes the coordination of casting, rehearsals, adjudications, marketing, fundraising, and technical theater elements. The Board works to bring in audience members from the USF student population as well as from the greater Tampa Bay area. SDPB hopes to increase support for the arts through the live performance experience and by hosting various smaller events throughout the year.
The Board is also responsible for raising money for the Michelle Vargas Scholarship Fund.
The Michelle Vargas Scholarship Fund was established in honor of dance performance major Michelle Vargas, who passed away on March 29, 2009. Michelle was an inspiration and role model for students and faculty at The University of South Florida Department of Dance. Her commitment to achieving excellence in dance execution and performance is honored through this yearly, performance based scholarship award. The USF students who have received this award since its creation will take out into the world the commitment to excellence which this award represents. In this way, Michelle's spirit will never die. May this award be a seed that will grow in multifold ways to benefit students, teachers, dance lovers, and the art of dance itself. Please join in the cause by becoming a contributor to The Michelle Vargas Scholarship Fund.
