EAST AURORA DANCE TEAM (senior)
1ST TIME ON THE 8CA ALL-STATE DANCE TEAM
I have been dancing since I was about eight years old.
My favorite memory on the East Aurora dance team has got to be when we did a dance camp with the elementary schoolers in our district. I had a really fun time getting to know the younger dancers and open doors for the ones who weren’t aware of the dance program at the high school.
I love trying new things and working with new people. I would consider myself to be very open-minded.
I would definitely give the biggest shout out to my high school coach, Alexis Zackery. She helped me open up and become who I am as a dancer. I used to be shy and introverted but since Coach Zackery became my coach she changed my whole perspective.
The style of dance I am most comfortable with is Hip Hop
I love to work or bake. I also love to spend time with my friends.
Infectious energy in performance, amazing strength and mobility, extremely versatile as well, mesmerizing to watch perform
