<p>We are wrapping up our Belhaven Dance Alumni Series with the very first graduate of the Belhaven Dance Department, Jill Pelhan Day! It was such a joy to spend this time with Jill and hear more about the beginnings of the dance program. While so much has changed over the years, we both reflect on how the heart of Belhaven has remained the same.</p><p>Jill shares her inspiring journey from a small town in South Carolina to becoming a pioneer in the Belhaven Dance Department. She reflects on her experiences at Belhaven, the evolution of dance education, and the importance of community and personal growth along the way. Jill also opens up about health challenges she&#39;s faced in recent years and the journey of healing. </p><p>We chat about the significance of authenticity and pursuing what God calls you to in your life. Jill offers such valuable wisdom, encouraging each of us to embrace failure, enjoy the journey, and remain open to change.</p><p>Several other Belhaven Dance Alumni have shared their stories on the podcast over the years, so we&#39;ve gathered all the episodes together in a playlist for you!
