WHAT IS YOUR DANCING BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE? I started dancing when I was two years old. I have trained in numerous styles including: ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, Hiphop, lyrical, and modern. I started competing when I was nine years old at Sara’s Studio of Dance until I graduated high school. Dance quickly consumed my life, as I love it so much. I joined the Springfield Ballet Company when I was nine years old until I was fifteen years old, where I performed in The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Cinderella, Midsummer Night’s Dream, etc. In 2014, I attended Joffrey Ballet NYC Summer intensive. In 2015, I attended Houston Ballet Summer Intensive. In 2016, I attended San Francisco Ballet Summer intensive and PNB Summer intensive. I was on the Jacksonville J’ettes high school dance team for three years. I was also on the University of Kentucky Dance Team for two years. I am now currently a rookie on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO AUDITION FOR DCC? For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a professional dancer, but I didn’t know exactly in what capacity. As I got older I realized I wanted to dance in the NFL, and no other team came to my mind other than the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! Aside from the incredible talent, what stood out to me the most about DCC is how much they prioritize community service and military support.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO DREAMS OF BECOMING A DCC? Stay dedicated, work hard, and maintain a positive attitude throughout your journey. Everyone’s journey looks different, and it is all about your personal timing and whether it is meant to be your year or not! Perseverance is key. I am from a very small town without any resources into the world of professional dancing, so I had to take it upon myself to do the research and find ways to train! Lastly, go into the audition process fully confident in what you bring to the table!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DURING THIS FIRST YEAR AS A DCC? I look forward to becoming really close friends with everyone on the team! I also really look forward to performing at the Salvation Army’s Thanksgiving Day Red Kettle Campaign halftime show!
FINISH THIS STATEMENT: When I look back on my life….I always think about the childhood memories I have with my brother and cousins on holidays!
