Favorite dance styles: “So far I love every style of dance. But I would have to say my favorites would be contemporary, jazz and hip hop.”
Favorite choreographers: “Omg, there are too many to name!!! Mrs. Joey Dowling is one of my favorites because we had an immediate connection. She made me feel special and it made me want to work even harder. I also love Kent Boyd because I love how he incorporates acting and visualization into his choreography. He pushes me to let go and be myself. WilldaBeast and Janelle because they do not take it easy on me at all. They make me push myself harder than I ever have and make sure I always give 110%. They pull things out of me I never knew I had. Randi and Hef because I admire their true passion, they are so humble and they alwsy encourage me to never give up. Chehon because because I feel like his choreo is art and it allows me to really connect dancing with my feelings. Andrew Winghart, Matt Steffanina and Luam just because I love their choreo.”
Dance idols: “Misty Copeland because she believed in herself and pushed against all odds. Kaelyn Harris because is is everything (people say I remind them of her…biggest compliment ever!). Janelle Ginestra beacuse she is versatile, strong and always does everything full out. I also love my friend Nat because she works so hard and is chasing her dreams and killing it.”
Dream role: ” I would love to have my own show that I could dance on and inspire others to chase their dreams. I would encourage others to never give up on something they love.”
