I have been dancing since Jr. High School. I went to a studio for a few years doing ballroom and gymnastics. I loved to dance and started doing it at school. I took all the classes I could at my high school and Jr. High: ballroom, jazz, contemporary, tap, ballet and anything else I could get my hands on. I loved learning to dance at school. I loved learning to dance so much at school that I realized I couldn't stop myself from wanting everyone to have that joy. I firmly believe that dance should be a part of education. I believe this because I believe that everyone has the ability to dance and that everyone who dances can benefit from dance. Dance in school was the best thing I could have done for myself. I want that opportunity for everyone. I am a firm believer of dance in school.
