Ashley Gonzalez, Sauk Rapids, has been selected out of nearly 2,800 applicants nationwide to be a part of Dance Across the USA. The idea behind this project is to bring more awareness to national parks as well as the arts, two areas that have seen a decrease in interest due to technology and its advancements. Photographer Jonathan Givens will be capturing the talents of regional dancers at Voyageur National Park, with proceeds from the shoot donated to national parks as well as a National Endowment for the Arts.
