"It means a lot in terms of being able to be a positive influence and impact students' lives," said Taylor, who serves as the dean of student life and the head coach of the Grand Rapids Christian varsity boys basketball team.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — On Monday night, 32 people gathered around Joycelyn Evans on the deck of the Richmond Park pool to learn line dancing from someone who fell in love with it an early age. "I was going to the YWCA. I was probably 6 or 7. It was a summer vacation type deal, and we did, I think it was the 'Electric Slide' and from that, it just grew. I love it. I love line dancing," said Evans, who owns Queens and Kings Line Dancing.
