Scotty Mosley
Scotty who is a native of Wisconsin was first exposed to ASL while attending Gallaudet University. Within the past 17 years, Scotty has lived in five different states. While working in the ASL-English Interpretation Department, I have gained knowledge of ASL Linguistics. I find myself to enjoy learning new things. I hope to one day finish my degree in the fields of IT or tourism industry. In my spare time, my hobbies includes traveling, jets, photography and the gym.

A Deaf Chicago native and Whitney Young High School graduate, where I began my dance training. I have been involved with the Sixth Sense Performers, The Joseph Holmes School of Dance, Joel Hall of the Performing Arts, Dance Space, Gallaudet University, National Theatre of the Deaf, Sunshine Too Theater Company, The National and International Wild Zappers (an all Deaf African-American male dance company), Deaf West Theater, and Seattle's Intiman Theater. The highlight of my dance career was performing at the Dayton Institute of the Arts in Dayton, Ohio.
I have also been an instructor and assistant director for the Rochester Institute of Technology Dance Company, The San Antonio Summer Deaf Dance Camp, The Seattle Children's Theater's
Deaf Youth Drama Program, as well as dance instructor for the senior division the Community Service Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, also in Seattle.
Through an Artist in Residence grant, I have choreographed West Side Story for a deaf and hearing cast in Jacksonville, Illinois, and received the Contribution to the Dance World Award from the Chicago Park District.

My most recent accomplishments was teaching dance to students grade 8-12 at the International Creative Arts Camp in Oregon, Illinois, as well as choreographing selections from the Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, for the White Ball Affair Banquet hosted by Black Deaf Advocates, along with a sign and dance, Ease On Down the Road from The Wiz to prepare inner city deaf and hearing kids for the 78th Bud Billiken Parade.
