I’ve been dancing for a little over 12 years, since I was 3.
My dad died pretty early on in my life so I think my mom just wanted me to get into something so that I didn’t fall into too much grief. I immediately took a liking to it and I still love it to this day.
One of my instructors, Gretchen Bleakney is an incredibly strong dancer. She has an amazing work ethic and her tough love is probably the reason I have the academic grades, physical strength, and achievements that I have today.
I really enjoy channeling my emotions into my dancing. There’s something truly liberating by being able to move in ways that express thoughts and feelings all in one.
I hope to continue dancing through college, and I’d even like to work at a dance studio at some point in my life. However, as much as I love dance, I don’t think that it will play a role in my core career.
