REESE RICHBURG

My goal is to evolve into a well-rounded professional dancer, ensuring a smooth transition from the student experience to a professional career. Each year, I strive toward this by intensifying the rigor and discipline at every stage of my dance journey. Ultimately, I aim to build a strong network and foundation that will provide me with the opportunities needed for a successful career in the arts.
