How long have you been studying dance?

I have been dancing and studying dance for my whole life. I started dancing when I was two years old. 

What style of dance do you do?  What is your favorite?

I practice all styles of dancing but my favorite style is contemporary. I have had training in ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, tap, ballroom, musical, theater, and acro.

Where did you get your beginning training?

I started my training at American Expression of Dance (AED) and I trained there for about 5 years and then I moved studios.

Where else have you trained?  Where would you like to train, ultimately?

I have also trained at The Pointe Academy and I am training there now. I would like to continue training at The Pointe 

What year of school are you currently in?

I am currently a freshman in high school, 9th grade. 

What school do you currently attend?

I am currently attending Corner Canyon High School. 

What is your favorite style of dance?

My favorite style of dance is contemporary. I like this style best because I am best at it. 

Have you danced in any competitions

Yes, I have danced in many, many competitions. I have danced in so many competitions I couldn’t count them. Competitions are one of the many reasons I love dance. I love the feeling of being on stage performing and dancing together with my team. 

What ballets have you performed in? In what role?

I have not preformed in any professional ballets but my studios have had ballet showcases and I have been in all of them with my team. We are usually included in 3 dances in the ballets. And we dance on flat and en pointe. 

What other productions have you performed in?

I have been on youth shift. Shift is a professional dance company and I have danced with them in the youth group for 2 years now. In fact we just recently had our shows. So I preformed in the 4 shows that they had recently and the 5 shows that they had last year. I have also preformed in parades and other showcases. 

What are your favorite hobbies, other than dance?

Outside of dance I don’t have many hobbies but I do quite a bit of golfing and tumbling. I have also been taking French since 1st grade so I guess u could consider that a hobby. But I prefer to be dancing over anything else.

What are your goals with dance?

I have many goals for dance, I would like to improve my flexibility and my confidence. I would also like to strengthen my ballet technique.
