Starting in ballet at only two years old, I’ve been dancing for longer than I can remember. Though my training is mostly in ballet, contemporary, and modern, hip-hop stole my heart in 8th grade and I never went back. I was a choreographer and dancer on a competitive hip-hop team, Synergy, for all four years of college. We competed in front of audiences of up to 5,500, placing on the podium several times.
