How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

Dance has a huge role in my life. It has seen me through some difficult times and some really amazing times. Dance helps me to feel my most free and express my emotions through my movement. When I am up there and the spotlights hit me and I hear my music start to play, it sets my soul at ease, and I feel as if I’m floating on air.

How do you want to use dance to be a positive influence on your community?

I want to use dance to be a positive influence on my community by teaching others how to have good character and be an amazing dancer. My dance teacher is a very good advocate for having good character. I want to teach what she taught me to younger generations so that they can reach their fullest potential.
