Angela R. Godin

Angela R. Godin was born in Pasadena, California, eventually moving back to Pennsylvania. She is a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts, and Drexel University with a Master of Science in Arts Administration and Museum Leadership. Angela has held the senior leadership position of Executive Director to the Community Arts Center of Cambria County for the last eight years. Her background and understanding of fine arts, crafters, and performance art have been vital for this position. As Executive Director, Angela performs and manages duties in the areas of event planning, fundraising, performing arts productions, organizational development, program management, marketing, grant writing, and social media campaigns.


Previously, Angela worked as an independent contractor in art related fields for over eleven years. This experience included directing numerous plays and musicals, performing in close to thirty productions, as well as vast experience in choreography, stage-managing, lighting design, sound design, and production management and administration. Her repertoire is comprised of directing theatre festivals, studio theatre projects, acting camps, and training seminars, as well as teaching theatre courses to all ages. Angela has instructed dance for over seventeen years: ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, musical theatre dance, waltz, foxtrot, tango, salsa, merengue, rumba, cha cha, swing, jitterbug, hustle, slow dance, bachata, and jive. Her dance training and/or instructing continues as she expands her dance portfolio with professional dance instructors across the nation. 

In her spare time, you can find Angela stage-managing productions or performing in local theatrical groups, volunteering her choreography skills, or directing plays and musicals. Other volunteer efforts have included judge and/or Emcee for Beginnings Inc. Dancing Like a Star Benefit fundraiser, serving dinner to homeless and underserved, along with volunteering as an instructor and outreach dance teacher. Currently, she on the board of trustees for the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Conemaugh Meyersdale Medical Center, and Conemaugh Miners Medical Center and is a Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Johnstown.  


In 2018, she was accepted into the National Arts Marketing Project Cohort 2, a two-year program comprised of trainings and seminars in arts marketing through Americans for the Arts and was a DIAL Mentor for the 2022 Diversity In Arts Leadership (DIAL) Internship program. Angela was the Arts & Letters honoree for the 2019 Tribute to Women and selected for the PA Business Central's Top 100 People of 2020.

Sherry Lynn Harshberger

Sherry Lynn Harshberger has been teaching people to dance for over 30 years. She has a Master's Degree in Special Education and a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.

She has taught individuals of all ages from small children to teens, adults, persons with special needs and even the elderly.


Sherry Lynn is an accomplished choreographer and has taught hundreds of bridal couples to dance for their weddings.


Her passion has always been teaching and she is extremely motivated to help every student succeed. Sherry Lynn is pleased to bring this passion and enthusiasm to the Arts Center.

Sisi Zhao

Sisi spent her childhood living with her conservative State Chief Justice grandpapa, in China, and liberal, warm and outgoing grandmama because both her parents are busy university professors. In her dancing classes, you might find Sisi a serious teacher providing clear instructions and solid encouragement. Yet be prepared for her room-freezing deadpan quotes. After spending 1/5 of her law school time playing softball, she graduated and worked as an in-house counsel. 


Sisi has a lot of stage performance experiences ever since her kindergarten years doing solos and group dances. She has danced Irish steps for 15 years but has never won any international prizes. Her favorite Irish dance sets are Blackbird (Molyneaux) and Vanishing Lake. She is a member of IAMPETH, writing uncial, gothic, engrosser’s script, ornamental penmanship. Recently, she is smitten with offhand flourishing. 


Sisi is incredibly thankful to Log Art Dance for this invaluable educating opportunity. She will work smart to enhance students' dance skills.

Rachel Turco
