From 1st grade (6 years old) until now (14 years old) I have been dancing at Bobbie's School of Performing Arts; a studio in Thousand Oaks, California. I study Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, Modern, Hip-Hop, Improvisation, Acro, Pointe, and Musical Theatre. I also take classes for Stretch & Strength, Jumps & Turns, and Legs & Feet. I began dancing in the studio's Pre-Professional dance company about 3 years ago, where I took part in many other competitions around the country. Through the dance company I traveled and attended several dance conventions/competitions such as 24Seven Dance Convention, NUVO Dance Convention, JUMP Dance Convention, The Dance Awards, Headliners, Rainbow, KAR, YAGP, and California Dance Classics. I dance about 18-20 hours a week every day except for Fridays. I have also taken master classes in all of the styles of dance listed above with the additions of Pilates and Jazz Funk. I have also participated in the summer dance intensive for 6 years. I study under many teachers at the studio such as Erik Sosa, Elizabeth Petrin, Mandy Korpinin, Kersten Todey, Claire Ross, Claire Kampschroeder, Hannah Wilson, Katie McCluskey, Monique Meunier, Kandice Kingsley Shom, Ethan Bloom, Scotty Nguyen, and Kateryna Klishna.
