“Dance has brought me a new way to look at life and taught me how to respect others.”
How does dance have a positive impact on your life?
Dance has brought me a new way to look at life and taught me how to respect others. It taught me how to love myself and to not take things for granted. Enjoy it while we still have it.
How do you want to use dance to be a positive influence on your community?
I want to show others that dance is a sport and is enjoyable. I also want people to know that all body type is welcome into dance. Dance is a very fun environment and you make lifelong friends and family and just cause we dance at different studios we are all still connected as a family/community!
