This Summer we lost an amazing person at BellyUp. The sudden and very tragic death of our much loved student Camila Lopez was simply heart breaking for all of us. She was beautiful, kind, happy and self-less. She was only 16 years of age and was incredibly passionate about Bellydance which is unique for someone so young. Camila had big dreams and hopes for her future as I did for her as her teacher.
Honoring Camila
I felt it was so important to honor Camila's memory and keep her alive in our studio in the most positive of ways. She would love the thought of sharing the gift of dance with other students and to help them continue their journey into Bellydance. Which is why it seemed appropriate to create the Camila Lopez Bellydance Award so that Camila's legacy would be shared and remembered forever. This will be awarded to one or more students each year, in June which will be the anniversary of her death. If this happens to coincide at the time of our Student Recital then the Award will be presented at our show which is always a celebration of our students' growth and development in the art of Bellydance.
Guidelines:
Anyone who is a student of BellyUp for at least one year can be considered for the award. Nominations must be submitted with an application and a 500 word essay about why the person you are nominating deserves the award. You may nominate a fellow dance student, dance instructor or yourself. The Award will be Unlimited Bellydance Classes for one year along with select workshops, a Sharifwear outfit and special Trophy.
Students should be passionate about bellydance and interested in their dance development and be excellent ambassadors of the dance form and demonstrate a warm, positive spirit towards their fellow dancers.
