Tell us about your dance experience!
I have been dancing since I could walk at the age of 1. I have been on the competitive team since I was 3 and have taken every class I have been able to. My favorite genres are acro, contemporary, and hip hop! I have also been in various stage performances and had some really cool opportunities like dancing on the field with our favorite football team The Buccaneers!
How does dance have a positive impact on your life?
Dance is MY LIFE! It has taught me so much self-discipline, routine, and how to work hard for what I want. It has made me soooo many friends that are now like family since we spend literally every day together! I would be lost without my dance family ❤️. Dance has taught me to be outgoing and confident, but also humble and supportive of everyone no matter what! Dance has given me a dream and a passion to strive for and work hard every day. Dance has made me, ME!
How do you want to use dance to have a positive impact on your community?
Dance just makes everyone happy. You can’t look at someone dancing and not want to dance with them! I want to use dance to make anyone having a bad day, have a better day. I want other kids like me to see that you don’t have to be the best, you just have to love to dance and that anyone can do it! I love using dance as a way to stay healthy and show others that it’s the most fun way to stay healthy and doesn’t have to feel like work at all! My goal is to make the world a brighter place just by dancing ❤️.
