Tell us about your dance experience!

I’ve been dancing my whole life and competing for four years. I have won two national titles! I dance almost every day of the week and compete at a number of competitions with my team and extra ones independently as well. Acro and hip hop are my favorite styles of dancing, and I am a contortionist!

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

Dancing keeps me in great physical and mental shape! I am best friends with the girls on my team and we love cheering each other on! I also teach dance to younger children which I absolutely love!
