How long have you been dancing?

I have been dancing for 5 years. I started off taking a summer dance camp then joined Dance Creation that following September. I’ve done hip hop ever since!

​

What is your favorite style of dance and why?

My favourite style is hip hop! I’ve always loved the feeling you get when moving and grooving to upbeat music. Hip hop makes me excited to push myself and learn new moves, even if they get a little tricky sometimes.

​

Why do you love to dance?

I love dance because I’m able to express myself through music and, personally, it helps with letting go of stresses and worries during the week. Being able to meet new people is also something I love about dancing. I have met so many amazing dancers, instructors, and influencers, from my teachers to my classmates, and even the kids I assist on Saturdays. They all mean so much to me!

​

What are your future plans?

This is my graduation year! I am very excited to start my new chapter at NBCC in the fall. The course that I have been accepted to is Educational Support. It has always been my dream to be able to work with kids and help as much as I can! My overall goal is to become a teacher, but that's further down my career path. My future plan for dance is to stay involved! it may not be taking a class but I always want to make it a part of who I am. That might mean volunteering at a summer camp like I once did, continuing to be an assistant, or even teaching my own class someday! Dance Creation has allowed me to keep active, push myself, and grow a love for dance and myself.
