Dance
I have been dancing for 20 years. I take classes in ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop. It has become a huge importance in my life and I love passing on my passion for dance to the children that take dance at the studio. There is no better feeling than to see how much they grow and how much the accomplish throughout the year. Watching them grow and improve each year is a wonderful thing.
