As the dreaded (or desired!) May 1st deadline quickly approaches for many seniors who are preparing to commit to colleges next year, my status as a senior has definitely been more apparent wherever I go. After a short nostalgic conversation with my classmates in class one day, the thoughts of last everythings that I have […]
a community of inspiration
As you may now know, my inspiration to dance comes from seeing the fiery passion that lives within individuals of the dance community. This past spring break, I have been watching hours of dance videos that both entertain and inspire me. Here’s one of my favorites: Out of all of the great choreography that I […]
lessons learned
hey, hey! It has been a long couple of weeks of dance, but now that my coaches have given the team 3 weeks off to kick back and relax, I feel like an update is much needed. Let’s start with Nationals. My last NDAs was probably my favorite one out of the 4 years that […]

an inspiration
Now that 2018 has arrived, I want to share one of my favorite pieces of choreography that an artist has created in 2017. Kyle Hanagami’s choreography to Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is an example of the crazy amount of musicality and precision that I hope to achieve myself as a growing dancer. The way […]
