dancing starts.”
Tell us about your dance experience!
I love to dance…anywhere, anytime! My favorite styles are hip hop and tap! I’ve met some incredible people through dance.
How does dance have a positive impact on your life?
No matter what…dance never fails me. I can be having a horrible day, that is not so horrible once the dancing starts.
How do you want to use dance to have a positive impact on your community?
Dance can help the community in so many ways. It can bring people together, it can make people have a more active and healthy lifestyle, and it can bring join and a smile to people’s faces that can’t physically do it, either from age or injury. I would love to do some type of program where a group of dancers could perform at nursing homes.
