A teacher or coach you'd like to thank 

I would like to thank Brenda and Alyssa because Alyssa pushed me to do things that I never knew I could, and without Brenda, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, and wouldn’t have been able to do the things I have been able to do

A teammate or friend who made your time special

Carly, because she is always there when I need her, and we always have so much fun together

Something dance taught you beyond the steps 

To be confident

One way dance helped you grow

To be you and not let anyone tell you otherwise

Advice for younger dancers

There might be times when you get tired, but keep going. The reward is much more important

What's next after graduation

To complete the rest of cosmetology school and get a job as a cosmetologist

How dance will start part of your life

It will always have a special place in my heart because I have done it my whole life, and I can’t imagine myself not being at the studio and helping out

Please recognize anyone you would like to thank for your dance experiences.  

I would like to thank my mom and dad because without them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, and they got me to class even when class was every day without them. I probably will not be ready.
