1. What do you love about dancing?
Activity is a way that I process my emotions. Dance not only does this for me, but it incorporates creativity and musicality. I can experiment with different moves and choreography, helping explore what I can do and how I can make things look beautiful or cool. I like that I can see the result of all the effort when I land a clean triple or watch a dance that we have worked on for months. I love how close of friends you can become with the people you are dancing with. Over time, you develop a feeling of a team, and when you get to that point, dancing is the most fun it could be!

Like always this studio continues to offer awesome classes. I enjoy learning from each different teacher and their specific style, along with how they care about me as a person. I specifically have enjoyed dancing with some of my closest friends this year, doing something I love with friends that I love is truly awesome! Along with that, I am enjoying all the opportunities I have been given: to assist in teaching or to substitute teach, to join the 8:20 apprentice company, and to co-choreograph with other dancers at the studio. My senior year at the studio went wonderfully, and it makes me sad that it is over.
