How did you start dancing?

I started dancing when I was 6 years old at Tammy’s Company of Dance and moved to RDC when I was 13.

Because it gives me a sense of freedom and accomplishment. Standing up on the stage every year with my dance mates and having that rush of excitement and happiness. Dancing is my ‘happy place’.

So I can give my students the same experience as I have had.
