“The hard work and creative expression I get to explore through dance affects every part of my life and reminds me there’s always a way! Dance makes me feel like I’m being the best version of myself!”

Tell us about your dance experience!

When I was 2 or 3, my mom would play the radio so we could have family dance nights! We didn’t have furniture, but we had wood floors, open space, and a great love of movement. I loved feeling the music…I felt so free and like I could do anything! Ever since then, I’ve chosen to make dance a part of my everyday life!

How do you want to use dance to have a positive impact on your community?

I hope to lead by example and inspire others to follow what’s in their hearts and to never give up.
