“I have auditory processing disorder and wear hearing aids. Sometimes, it can be tough to hear over the loud music… Through my dancing, I hope others see that no matter what…you can work hard and follow your dreams!”

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

Dance lets me express myself, let go of my anxiety, and have fun! Not only am I learning the steps and rhythm, but I am learning how to set goals and achieve them. It’s my passion and I can’t imagine doing anything else!

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

I have auditory processing disorder and wear hearing aids. Sometimes it can be tough to hear over the loud music, but I try my best and always work hard. Through my dancing, I hope others see that no matter what, even if you have a disability, you can work hard and follow your dreams!
