Aspiring Dancer

I have been dancing since I was 12 years old but before that I was in numerous sports and extracurricular activities such as figure skating, football, volleyball, gymnastics, basketball, soccer, taekwondo, and vocal training. I was a very active child and although I loved my sports music had my heart and with my gift of having a keen sense of hearing for music, I was able to use my active side and my love for music I took on dancing. My dream is to one day be a choreographer and travel the world doing what I love to do. I currently dance at a studio called THE STU. They are very inclusive and kind-hearted people and they are very eager to teacher and I am very eager to learn.
