Dancing for Odyssey. I have learned and grown so much in these past two years. The family I have established there is more then I could have hoped for. I love them pushing me as a dancer, and I love growing with them as a person.
What have you learned so far in going through the audition process for this show?
Patience is a virtue. The show is a hurry-up-and-wait process. However, the waiting is for sure a pay off for the benefits you get to experience.
What are your favorite dance moments from movies, TV and/or stage?
Its so inspiring to see dance on stage. It is an art form that should be recognized and appreciated. I get excited to see dance anywhere, it’s a privilege. Even if its bad, in some way shape or form its inspiring.
Which choreographers would you like to work with?
I think it would be fun to work with all of them. They all have something different in their heads and I would love to be the mold they create on.
