Summary
I am an aspiring dancer with a deep passion for movement and performance. Through my experience in colorguard and orchestra, I have developed strong musicality, ensemble awareness, and stage presence. I have also gained experience learning to synchronize with others, adapt to different performance settings, and convey emotion through movement. These opportunities have also allowed me to explore choreography, and expressive performance. My background in engineering has further enhanced my discipline, focus, and problem-solving skills, which I bring to rehearsal and learning new techniques. I am excited to continue expanding my dance training, explore new styles, and contribute energy, creativity, and dedication to this audition while growing as a performer.
