| Why Did you Start Dancing? | I started dancing because I saw and article in the District 158 newspaper about a hip hop class with Alvin at Center Stage and decided to take it. After the first class I fell in love with it and wanted to continue dance and become better. I saw some team dances at the recital and really wanted to be part of the team. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I’ve become inspired by so many people and I thank God for leading me step by step in Envision!! |
| Favorite Convention You’ve Attended and Why? | My favorite dance convention was LADM and Hall of Fame because they weren’t too hard or too easy. I enjoyed the experience with everyone and the different kinds of dancing from different choreographers. |
| Who Inspires You & Why? | There are so many people who inspire me from team members and instructors, to people form long ago like Martha Graham. BUT Alvin and my dance team inspire me to become a better person and dancer. Tyler helps me with artistry and everyone shows me many examples of positive attitude and work hard. It makes me want to do the same. Also every instructor and teammates have their personal style and are unlike anyone else 🙂 |
