I started dancing at the age of 3 years old. Next year I will be attending UMass Dartmouth for Nursing and the Honors College. When I am not
dancing, I enjoys spending time with friends and family, shopping, going to the beach, reading and taking walks. My favorite studio memories are our team pizza party celebrations while watching critiques after a comp weekend. Advice I would offer to younger dancers is to always remember that this art is something that you love to do, never let anyone take that away from you. Thank you to my Mom and Dad, Brianna, TDF Senior Team (aka my second family), all of my littles I get to teach and assist, and all of my teachers.

I started dancing at the age of 3. Next year I am attending Dean College to continue my education in dance with a goal of receiving a BA in Dance. When I am not dancing I love to hang out with friends, watch sunsets and go to the beach! My favorite memory would be the first time winning with my new team or just all being together at comps! Some advice I have for the younger dancers is always dance your heart out and don’t care what anyone thinks because everyone is a beautiful dancer. Also don’t take anything for granted because before you know it senior year will be here! Thank you to my Mom, Dad, Megan, and my teachers for all the endless support.

I started dancing at the age of 3 years old. Next year I will be studying nursing at Salve Regina University. When I'm not dancing, I enjoy hanging with friends and family, hot yoga, and the beach. My favorite studio memory is attending Nationals in South Carolina. Advice that I would give to young dancers is to let mistakes teach you, not define you. Thank you to my family, my friends, my teachers and choreographers, and the studio that made me a factory girl!

I started dancing at the age of 7. Next year I will be attending Endicott college for marketing and dance. When not dancing, I enjoy doing Pilates and yoga as well as hanging with friends and family. My favorite studio memory is learning the dances this summer with the guest choreographers and then competing them at competition. The advice I would give to young dancers is to follow your heart and passion and take risks in your journey because you never know where it can take you.
Thank you to my teammates for being so welcoming to me as a new teammate to your team that has been together for numerous years. Thank you Miss Katie for allowing me to join this studio and trusting me that I will be an amazing student and teammate. Thank you to all my teachers for this amazing past year that changed me as a dancer, especially Miss Gabie for pushing me in every class and teaching me the correct technique in ballet and in technique class. Thank you to all the teachers ive had in the past that also have changed me as a dancer, especially Victoria Bemis for helping me grow into the dancer I've always wanted to be. And last but not least, thank you to my family for allowing me to follow my passion. I am so thankful for parents who support me in this art form and let me do all the amazing things I get to do. I love you guys so much! Thank you everyone!

I started dancing at the age of 2. In the fall, I plan to attend Assumption University. When I’m not dancing, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and tanning at the beach.
One of my favorite studio memories is when my team and I went to Myrtle Beach for Nationals. It was an unforgettable trip full of laughter and fun. To all the younger dancers: Enjoy every single moment and always give it your all. Time goes by way faster than you think.
Thank you to The Dance Factory, all my teachers, my teammates, and especially my family. d

I started dancing at 2 years old. After graduation, I will be studying nursing at Salem State University. Although most of my time is devoted to dance, I also enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to the beach, and creating social media content for the studio. My favorite memory from the Dance Factory, was when I first got put on the team. I was six, and I remember sleeping in my TDF jacket that night because I was so excited. My advice to young dancers, is to not stress perfection, because before you know it, your time as a competition dancer will be up. I’d like to thank my parents for supporting my dream of dance, and for always believing in me. I also want to express my gratitude for my dance instructors, Miss Katie, Miss Gabie, Miss Melissa, Miss Deirdre, Miss Erica, and most of all my sister, Miss Hailey.

I have been dancing at the Dance Factory since the age of 2. Next year, I am going to Merrimack College for Communications.
When I am not dancing I enjoy listening to music and I am also a competitive cheerleader. My favorite studio memory is Miss Gabie’s first gender reveal with cupcakes at the studio!! Advice that I would give to younger dancers is to always keep pushing yourself no matter how much encouragement you receive in return. Also a huge thank you to my Mom and my family for the constant support as well as all the staff and students at the Dance Factory!!
