I’ve been dancing as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of me dancing in my living room and listening to music from my ipod. I didn’t actually start dancing at a studio until I was 10, which is a lot later than most. However, I’m a quick learner and was quickly invited to join the competitive team.
Then the pandemic
I’ve been dancing as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of me dancing in my living room and listening to music from my ipod. I didn’t actually start dancing at a studio until I was 10, which is a lot later than most. However, I’m a quick learner and was quickly invited to join the competitive team.
Then the pandemic happened and I was no longer able to compete; so, I went back to dancing in my living room. I've always loved working with kids and when I was asked to work at WPDC I was super excited. It combined two of my favourite things, working with kids and dancing. I love being able to help kids learn the art of dance.
