How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

Dance has had a positive impact on my life by showing me what grit, drive, responsibility, and what it means to be a teammate. Dance has given me the opportunity to feel free and creative in each move I am given to deliver and perform as an artist.

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

The studio that I dance for is called studio RED end it is an acronym for Reaching youth through Education and Dance. It is this very idea that I want to live up to. With my studio, we have performed on local streets in nursing homes, performing our dances in which I plan to continue. Lastly, I have been given the opportunity to assist teaching toddlers which makes me feel that I am giving back by being an inspiration not only in dance but in my attitude and being a positive role model for these young kids.
