Penn State Health Children's Hospital

Dance can really tell a story without saying a word, and in this case, it's also helping support children and families facing childhood cancer.

This November, dancers from Central Pennsylvania and professional artists will come together at Hershey Theatre for Arabesque, a charity ballet benefiting Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children's Hospital.

The performance is also a pretty special milestone for its creator, Victor Yelihohin.

He's celebrating 50 years in dance.

I'm Asia Tabb.

We're talking about Arabesque, a charity ballet coming to Hershey Theatre on Sunday, November 22nd.

The performance benefits Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children's Hospital, and it's celebrating a major milestone for Victor Yeliahin, who is marking 50 years in dance.

We're going to get back to our conversation with Victor, Hannah, and Rachel.

I started out in campaign work, moved over and worked in a governor's office for a period of time, did statewide campaigns decades, decades ago, then moved in to working as a consultant with some nonprofits.

I became the director for the Children's Miracle Network at Penn State Children's Hospital and then moved into my own consulting practice and have had such a great opportunity to work on so many different things.

You know, I had the honor of working with Sue Paterno when everything was happening at Penn State.

And first they had hired me to start Coach Paterno's foundation.
