We are thrilled to inform you that UMBC Dance Alum and Linehan Artist Scholar Maia Schechter '18 has joined the Broadway cast of The Lion King. Maia is a beautiful dancer and we are so proud of her!
Maia is also an excellent choreographer. When she was a senior at UMBC, her choreography, Now Elsewhere, received regional honors from the American College Dance Association (ACDA). The work was also presented at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C, at ACDA's national conference.
We wish Maia well on this next journey in her career.
