Summary

Dynamic and dedicated dance student with extensive training in Ballet, Lyrical, Jazz, Contemporary, and Hip Hop at Dance Star Academy of Performing Arts. I am a consistent first-place soloist, I demonstrate strong technical ability, musicality, and creativity as I dance and in my choreography. I value teamwork and artistic expression, which I’ve developed through both my school dance team and my role as a Teacher’s Assistant. I maintain discipline, respect, and professionalism in every environment. My goal as a dance major is to pursue a career as a professional dancer and choreographer.
