Dance Background:
I have been attending dance classes since I was three but I actually did not start dancing until I was five because I was so shy and was afraid to dance in front of people.  I have taken ballet, pointe, tap, lyrical, hip hop, and jazz.  I would have to say that hip hop is my favorite dance style and pom is my least favorite.  one of my favorite experiences was dancing with the R&B/hip hop group Pretty Ricky when I was a sophomore in high school.  I was also on a dance team from kindergarten through 8th grade and during high school I danced in the studio.

Favorite things about XUDT:
I love being a part of XUDT - there is nothing about it I do not like.  I would say my favorite part about being on the team is my teammates.  They are all amazing and we have so much fun together all the time.  I am so happy I joined the team and I don't know what I would do if I did not have my teammates as friends!
