Kaci N Johnson
National Board Vice-President
Nu Rho Sigma Fine Arts Fraternity Incorporated
I grew up in Bowie,Maryland where I found my love and passion for dance at the age of three at Linda Natoli Dance Studio. At age five, I started competitive dance and fell in love with it. I continued my training at C&C dance company from age 9-18 competing in competitions all over country where I received awards such as First Place, Second Place, Platinum, and Gold.
As I journeyed to Central State University after high school in 2009, I knew I needed to continue to dance so I joined Infinity Dance Team and then later on joined Finesse Dance team. I soon found a group of individuals who loved the arts as much as I did so I made it my mission to become a member of Nu Rho Sigma in Spring 2011 Epsilon Chapter. With this honor, I wanted to share my passion for dance with kids in the community so in 2013, I became a dance coach for the Diamonds and Pearls Dance Organization in Xenia,OH.
My love for the arts has grown since 2011 and I continue to expand my knowledge of all creativity. I currently choreograph and teach classes in Bowie,MD.
Crystal Short
National Board Treasurer
Nu Rho Sigma Fine Arts Fraternity Incorporated
I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and I graduated from Central State University with a degree in Business management. My Art is music and I was always interested in learning how to play different instruments. The instrument that I played mostly is the French Horn. I always had a passion for being creative and spreading creativity. I have been expressing myself through music since High School.
With this organization I've learned a lot about myself. The moment I found music, poetry, and stepping they quickly became apart of my life. I love that they allow me to express my emotions through them. Music, poetry, stepping is a big part of my life and I want to share it with as many people as I can.
