How old are you? I am 12 years old and in 7th grade.
Why do you love dance? Dance is really fun and allows people to show their creativity. I love dance because it gives me the freedom to express myself. I always wanted to try dance because it looks fun, unique, and beautiful, and now that I'm in class I know that it is all of those things!
What other hobbies and activities do you participate in? At school I am involved in the drama club, the visual arts club, and the symphonic band where I play percussion. I love playing on the tom tom drums! In my free time I love to paint and draw many different things that inspire me.
Tell us something fun about you! I am a published artist! My piece of art titled “Shriners' Hospital: My Family,” has been published in a book by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. This book has been on display at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, and was recently on display in Savannah, Georgia.
