She however, would NOT dance on stage! It took a team of her mothers employers to drag her out to her spot. After a year of recital dread her mother decided to let her try other activities. It wasn't until a friend pressed her to audition for a stake play that she decided to try the stage again. That was all it took and now we can't get her off the stage!
She has worked as a teaching assistant, assistant choreographer and is currently choreographing several pieces for her high school and HKA's Broadway voice class.

I became a sponge, soaking up every single leap, jump, and warm up technique that they would give me.
