“Dance is my life. It helps me to set goals and push myself to be better. It teaches me to be dedicated and work hard. It also has helped me to make life long friends not only in my studio but also all over the United States!”
Tell us about your dance experience!
Showstopper was my first competition that I ever placed at. The first year I competed as intermediate and placed in the top 10 for the first time. I attended Nationals that year and placed in the Top 5! Last year I placed in the top 10 in Advanced! And got First Overall Advanced solo at Showstopper Minneapolis! I have been working hard at dance.
