“I want dance to show younger kids that they can do anything as long as they put their mind to it. It’s ok to step outside of your comfort zone because it will most likely make you more successful.”
Tell us about your dance experience!
I have danced since I was 2 years old in the genres of ballet, tap, jazz, and modern. I just started competitive dance on a team and doing a solo. My first competition was a Showstoppers competition at the Pittsburgh, PA Regional Competition in February of 2023.
