Dance to me, is the adrenaline I feel stepping on stage and waiting for that first sound of music; the bonds I’ve made with those I dance with and the pride I feel watching my students make the same cherished memories that I have.

Some of my earliest memories at Fiery Feet involve aspiring to be like the ‘big girls’, the older girls who helped in my classes, who always supported, encouraged, and inspired me. Now that I have the same opportunity as a teaching assistant, I strive to be that kind and supportive role model – just like the ‘big girls’ before me.
