​I started dancing at the age of 2. Post graduating I will be attending Loyola University of Maryland to study speech and hearing sciences. When not dancing I enjoy crocheting, going to the beach, and hanging out with friends. I would like to thank my parents and dance teachers for supporting me over the years and all of my past and present teammates for pushing and motivating me.  My favorite dance quote is “Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.” Advice I would give to young dancers is to dance for yourself. It is much more rewarding to focus on your own growth than compare yourself to others.

I started dancing at the age of 12. My postgrad plans are to major in marketing at Penn State University. When not dancing I enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the beach, and spending time outside. I would like to thank my family and friends for always coming to support me as well as my teachers and dance team for always being there for me through everything. My favorite dance quote is:  “You don’t have to be perfect to be amazing.”- Daily Dance My advice to young dancers is: To never give up when things get hard and never compare yourself to others.

My Postgrad plans are to Attend Temple University majoring in media studies & production.

My Favorite dance quote is: The moment is everything. Don’t think about tomorrow; don’t think about yesterday: think about exactly what you’re doing right now and live it and dance it and breath it and be it.” —Wendy Whelan, Advice to young dancers: It is never too late to start doing anything. Don't let anyone stop you from trying new things!

I am on my 4th year dancing at The Dance Factory and have loved every second of it! It has been an unreal experience being on a competition team and learning so much through my teachers and friends.
In the fall, I will be attending Emmanuel College and majoring in Elementary Education. Outside of dance, I love making art and anything to do with being outside. I have been apart of numerous clubs in high school whether that was history club, GirlUp, or volunteering with the National Honor Society. A dance quote I think about a lot is “Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art” which leads me to advice that I live by which is constantly being authentic. I recommend young dancers to be authentic to themselves when they dance since that’s what makes you stand out and enjoy the sport individually. Don’t be scared to look silly and don’t be embarrassed!

​I started dancing at the age of 3. My postgrad plans are that I will be attending the University of Alabama majoring in Elementary Education. 
When not dancing I enjoy spending time with family, going out with friends, and listening to music. I would like to thank my parents for always supporting me and believing in me. I would also like to thank Miss Katie for welcoming me back this year and Miss D for being a great teacher and role model over the years. My favorite dance quote is  "Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art," Margot Fonteyn
My advice to young dancers is:  Stay true to yourself! Never let others determine what you can and cannot do. Dance is a way for you to express yourself and everyone does that in different ways.
