“I would like to use dance to give others the strength to keep pushing through whatever…”

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

I more confident than ever. It has taught me a life lesson. With hard work, nothing is impossible.

How do you want to use dance to be a positive influence on your community?

Dance is art, just like drawing and musical. Dance is a visual imaging and can change the mood in any situation whether it’s a celebration or spiritual event. I would like to use dance to give others the strength to keep pushing through whatever and/or use dance to help make others make friends, meet mentors, and build confidence.
