City I live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in my life includes…
puppy kisses in the morning, dominating Kindergarten (art class is my favorite), making healthy food choices throughout the day (mostly), two-three dance classes, sister time which can be anything from going to the park, playing a game, or just hanging out in their room and finally Mommy/Daddy snuggles at bedtime.
I was born…
to be awesome, not perfect.
My favorite thing about Arizona is…
that my family and friends live here, there is always something fun to do and we have lots of sunshine!
I’m listening to…
the soundtrack from “A Star Is Born”. On repeat! I didn’t see the movie but I am obsessed with the music. I’d love to do a solo to “I’ll Never Love Again” someday. The lyrics aren’t age appropriate for me just yet.
My family…
is so much fun! We love to take trips and family vacations together, and we always seem to turn them into amazing adventures.
If I could have dinner with anyone it would be…
Abby Lee Miller.
One thing I cannot live without…
lip gloss!
When I grow up I want to be…
a dancer/choreographer.
I’m inspired by…
beautiful music! It makes me think about performing a lyrical dance on stage.
I love to…
DANCE! I enjoy every aspect of it, from taking classes, to learning choreography, competing both group and solo dances, and conventions.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom. She definitely knows how to get me energized and excited for the day!
The perfect day would be…
hanging out at the beach and exploring mermaid caves with my sisters.
My favorite thing about myself…
my personality. I’m pretty funny. And sweet!
My life…
is art, and I am the artist!
I’m currently working on…
several group competition dances, as well as my solo dance for this season.
Always…
TRY. You’ll never know unless you try.
Never…
quit. Quitting is NOT an option.
Favorite quote…
“Believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable.”
Biggest dream…
to have a role in a movie someday as a dancer…like in The Greatest Showman, Black Swan and Step Up.
