We are so incredibly blessed to have such a talented, beautiful, and kind Dancer...
Dance Teacher/Choreographer as a Sister in Ms. Senior America!!!
Ms. Donna Vincler, Ms. Tennessee Sr. America and 1st Runner-up to the National Title in 2017! She is the choreographer
for The Tennessee Jewels, the performance group for Tennessee Senior America.
Donna teaches Dance full-time and also is involved in a number of creative art adventures.

One of the coolest performances we will do is an interpretive dance to...
"The Eye of the Tiger!" (with a few of the words changed to reflect the Power and Tenacity of Senior Women!)
I have purchased 24 voile sheath over-lays for the dancers to wear over black long-sleeve t's and black leggin's. The
over-lays have colored tiger striping down the front and sides with multi-colored rhinestones around the neckline. You will
need to provide your own black T and black leggin's.
This dance will not be for beginner dancers. You must already be a dancer, to some degree, to participate. Although the
moves will be doable by our ladies, they will still be mildly challenging and passionate!!! I have already had ladies email
me telling me they want to be a part of the Tiger Dance! So, let me know if you are an experienced dancer and wish to participate.
The first 24 to let me know will have the opportunity to dance.
Required Rehearsal for this dance will be on Friday afternoon, June 5th.
If you are not a seasoned dancer, but have great rhythm, and would still like to participate, send me an email and let
me know that. If you are willing to work very hard to learn the steps, and if I don't have 24 experienced dancers, I will
certainly give a position to you.
Tigers are the largest felines in the world, and they are a symbol of strength, courage and dignity! No two tigers have
the exact same markings. Their stripes are as individual as fingerprints are for humans. They are breathtakingly beautiful
creatures, just like our Queens!
