Have you heard of Miss America? Are you curious about how you can become involved or compete? The public perception of Miss America is often that it's a one-night event, but in reality, it's so much more. This class is open to girls and women ages 13-25 that want to know more. We will cover the basics of pageants, areas of competition and how to get started. Participants will gain confidence and preparation to enter local competitions and/or compete on bigger stages. While some pageant coaches charge over $100 per hour, this class will only cost $30 for one session, $55 for any two sessions or $75 for all three sessions. Class will be led by Angie Pagnac. Angie doesn't consider herself a coach, but rather a mentor. She has been a local director for over 10 years and has judged several other pageants. Teens should bring a parent or guardian to the classes. Session Descriptions: Session 1: Overview of what a competition looks like and how to sign up. Session 2: Quick review of session 1, work on community service essays and fact sheets, mock interview (5-7 minutes), and on stage question round. Please bring laptop computer if possible. Session 3: Practice fitness and gown modeling, discuss wardrobe and Q&A. If photographer can be arranged, there will be a free headshot provided for each participant.
