What companies/classes are you currently in?

I am currently a Jazzcat :)

When did you start dancing?

I started dancing when I was 5 years old.

Do you remember your first dance routine?

I do not. I think it’s impossible for me to remember that if I can forget new choreography after a week. 

When did you start at Center Stage?

I started dancing at Center Stage 4 years ago.

If JazzCATS were collectively running the world, how would the world be different?

I know if we were collectively running the world, we would change it to be more inclusive. We see so much negative news because people are stigmatized for being different, but diversity and inclusivity are what allows us to thrive. Everyone in Jazzcats is unique in their own way but I love that we are still one family.

This is a substantial time commitment.  Why has it been worth all of the energy you’ve put into it and the sacrifices you’ve made?

Dance has always been a creative outlet for me. Despite the time commitment and sacrifice, I’ve never regretted it. The people I get to see every week and the memories I’ve built make it all worthwhile. I would not want to be anywhere else :))))

Do you do other outside of school activities?

 Yes! I play volleyball. 

What’s your favorite movie and why?

One of my favorite movies is Dirty Dancing. It’s a classic romantic movie I’ve loved since I was a little kid and I can watch over and over again. And of course, Patrick Swayze is very handsome.

Favorite book?

I cannot remember the last time I read a book that was not assigned in school :( 

If you were to write a book, what genre would it be?

It would have to be a memoir. If I were to write a book about all the random things I think about and the crazy/weird experiences I’ve had, it would definitely be an interesting read.

If you were on Jeopardy, what category would you kill on?

Oooo if TikTok dances/references were a category, I would KILL that. 

The zombie apocalypse is coming.  What three people would you want on your team?

Tori Moots, Richard Simmons (yes, the jazzercise guy), and my grandma.

You have to sing Karaoke.  What would be your song?

It would honestly depend on my mood. One night I might be singing “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, or “WAP” by Meg Thee Stallion.

What’s next?

College! (if I get in lol) I’m still in the process of applying and I’m not sure where I will be going yet, but we’ll see what happens.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

That’s a hard question to answer. The future I envision now can be completely different after my experience in college. I just hope to have a fulfilling life, get to travel everywhere, and am surrounded by the people I love.

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

I will most definitely make an effort to come back. This team means so much to me and Tori would want to see her favorite disappointment (me).
