“I am very passionate about dance, I have been dancing competitively for 7 years now, and it has impacted me not only athletically but also has taught me discipline in a way that challenges me every day. It takes a lot of dedication and teamwork to perfect each routine together. Being a part of dance has taught me mutual support and gives me motivation to continue growing as a dancer and an individual. Long practices and competitions have helped me develop a strong work ethic that I have applied to other areas in my life like school and personal goals. Learning how to work being a part of a team and just being able to communicate with others while improving myself is stuff I all learned through dance and I’m so grateful to have been able to do it.”
