When did you start at Center Stage?

I started at Center Stage when I was 5 years old.

Do you remember your first dance routine?

I don’t remember at all actually but it was most likely with Ms. Pam and I think I was wearing a rat costume or a dog. Probably a mouse.

What was your Center Stage journey?

I started with tap and ballet then joined TAP CATS in middle school, later joining JAZZ CATS for a few years and now CATS.

Why has it been worth all of the energy you’ve put in to it and the sacrifices you’ve made?

It has been worth it because it has taught me many things :)

Do you do other outside of school activities?

I also dance with my school’s dance team.

What’s your favorite movie and why?

My favorite movie is Alvin and the Chipmunks because they are strange.

What’s your happy place?

My happy place is anywhere with myself or just the woods, I love trees, also having dance parties in my head.

If you were appointed Queen of the world, what would be your first act?

I would take all my Queen money and run! No time for acts.

If you were given unlimited funds to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If I had unlimited funds I would go to a new country every single day which would take up 195/365 of my days which means I’ll have 170 days left to buy myself a hut on a remote island in Norway.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

If I were an animal, I would be a horned screamer because they give me fun vibes they are also the official bird of the department of arauca in Colombia which is basically my homeland.

If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?

I would have dinner with Michael Jackson, which now that I think about it that’s terrifying but why not.

What’s next?

College woohoo

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

27 years old !

Will you come back to visit Center Stage, or are you gone for good when you’re out the door?

I will definitely come back to visit, I’ll never forget the amazing memories I’ve made!
