This is my 14th year dancing.
I have three older girl cousins who danced and they encouraged my mom to enroll my sister and me in classes when we were little.
My biggest inspiration in dance is probably any teacher I have ever had or any student I have danced with. I know that sounds odd but I learn best by “competing” (for lack of a better word) with other dancers. They all push me to constantly be better. Without them, I never would have accomplished half of the things I have.
My favorite thing about dance is getting to tell different stories and play different characters on stage. I also love getting to perform with my team at competitions. I love being a part of something where everyone loves and is proud of what they’re doing.
I will for sure be dancing throughout my life. It’s too special a gift to give up after high school. I hope to dance throughout college and eventually own my own dance studio.
Dance is very important to many people, and I am so happy it’s something I get to do.
