“The friendships I have obtained, things I’ve learned, and experiences I have gotten to encounter are just a few things that make me love dance.”
Dance has offered me so many opportunities both within the art and outside. The friendships I have obtained, things I’ve learned, and experiences I have gotten to encounter are just a few things that make me love dance. It has absolutely helped me grow as a dancer and a human being and will forever be my first love.
Dance should bring joy to everyone. Whether you are participating or just watching, it should make you feel something. I want to make people smile while watching me perform and also want to inspire young dancers to love dance as much as I did and still do 13 years later.
