I have danced my whole life and loved every minute, I love the energy and the way it makes me feel. I would love for other students to have the experience to feel this and love dance the way I do.

I love dance because it has always been a part of my life since I was young and I always feel proud that I am one of millions of people who represent dance around the world. I want younger kids to feel proud and confident while dancing because everyone should be able to show off their talents.

~ Intermediates ~
I love to dance because it makes me happy and it’s what I look forward to doing in the afternoon or coming days. I want to share my love with younger dancers because I love seeing them trying to dance like us when we are on stage. I want them to some day feel the magic that I feel when I dance and be the ones that other little dancers are looking up to.
