Who We Are

A small team of dedicated individuals brought together by their love for dance and Bloomington.

Kay Olges, President

In the nineties, Kay was looking for a place to take ballet classes with her daughter, and came across Windfall’s sandwich board announcing classes at their previous location above Ben Franklin on the Square. Kay has been involved with Windfall in numerous capacities since, and is honored to serve as Board President. Dance is Kay’s sanctuary, and she loves that Windfall is a place for all who long to dance!

Max Weger, Treasurer

Max Weger is a graduate of Indiana University, Kelly School of Business graduating with a degree in Finance and Supply Chain Management. Since 2019, Max has been involved in Windfall in various capacities and most recently serves as the treasurer of the board. While not a dancer himself, he has an appreciation for the arts and has a desire to use his time to support the nurturing of arts in Bloomington. After leaving Bloomington, Windfall has become the most active connection he has to the town and aims to continue to be involved for the foreseeable future.

Leigha Stephney-Sullivan, Member

Leigha Stephney-Sullivan began dancing at a very young age. In college, while studying psychology and premed, she continued her dance studies as a dance minor. Here she took modern, tap, jazz, and ballet. Leigha is now a mother of two, and a CCMA with plans of applying to medical school and becoming a doctor. She is very excited to join the Windfall board, and continue to keep dance as a part of her life.

 

Julian Douglas, Member

Julian Douglas is a percussionist, accompanist for dance, educator, and a composer of contemporary world music. Julian’s creative influences include traditions from Europe, the African diaspora, Asia, and the Middle East, but his focus has been on the creation of living art that seeks to honor the brilliance and beauty of the world’s traditions while pursuing opportunities for creativity and innovation. Through his board service Julian hopes to build more bridges into movement for the Bloomington community and more opportunities for the performing arts for area performers.

Jen Greenwich, Secretary

Jen started dancing at a young age and continued dancing through college, but afterwards thought her dancing shoes were hung up forever. After graduate school, she moved to Bloomington for her post-doctoral training at IU. Within her first few weeks in town, she found herself missing dance and looked around for a place to take adult classes. In the summer of 2019, she figured she’d try out a tap class, and quickly became regular at Windfall, taking tap, ballet, and contemporary classes. She now lives in upstate New York where she is a microbiology professor, but misses dancing at Windfall. Jen loves the welcoming community of Windfall and strongly believes in its mission, understanding how special it is to have such an organization giving adults a creative outlet.

Claudia Gage, Member

Claudia began taking classes at Windfall as a creative outlet and a way to connect to the community after she moved to Bloomington for grad school. In December 2022, she graduated from IU with an MA in Arts Administration and an MPA in Nonprofit Management. She is excited to use her education as a member of Windfall’s Board of Directors, helping an organization she feels passionate about continue to fulfill its mission and reach more dancers and community members in Bloomington and beyond.
