Erica Laskey
PLAINFIELD EAST BENGALETTES DANCE TEAM (junior)

1ST TIME ON THE 8CA ALL-STATE DANCE TEAM

13 years

My favorite memory had to be when we found out that our team was going to state.

That I work really hard to make sure that I am a good role model for the underclassmen

I would like to give a shoutout to our head coach. Coach Jay will always put our dance team first. She is always there for the team whether it is a dance team concern or more of a personal issue.

I like to perform jazz/contemporary and I like watching contemporary and pom

I like hanging out with family and friends and traveling to different places

Erica is a captivating dancer with an unmatched combination of stamina and endurance that was exemplified this competitive season. She truly was a standout performer. We were such a small team this year and she consistently offered support and guidance to our freshmen, making her a great teammate! She came to practices focused and ready to work. I truly appreciate her want and drive to continue to be consistent in her dance training and to accept growth for what it is, a sliding scale. Erica takes on challenges and strives to overcome them knowing that they can’t all be succeeded overnight. I have loved having her on the team these past three years! Can’t believe she’ll be a senior next year.
