Experience:
My high school dance team won three National Jazz and Hip-Hop Championships, four Hip-Hop State Championship, three Jazz State Championships where I was captain and helped choreograph our routines. I have performed and choreographed with several companies and showcases such as the Garden State Dance Festival and the Lady Legends of Hip-Hop Festival and even for artist such as Keri Hilson. My dance styles range from ballet, modern, african, hip-hop and tap. I have worked at several studios recently this summer started my own Dance Studio called "The Dance Vault". On campus I also perform with the Hip Hop team Dynamic, with the Dance Department in the Maryland Dance Ensemble, and teach classes for the Student Dance Association.
Other Activities:
I enjoy singing whether its pop, classical, theatre, or gospel and especially singing A capella.
I love being on the Maryland Dance Team because:
God has blessed me with a talent, and the fact that I am able to share my gift with thousands of people is something that I am very grateful to have. Any chance I have to dance is truly a blessing.
Favorite Moment on the Team:
Going to Golden Corral after we won the Navy game in 2010-2011. The food was delicious and being together, bonding over a good meal was a great time. I also enjoy everytime me and my team mate Jenna do our secret handshake!
Hobbies:
I love to spend time with my friends and freestyle or come up with little dance combinations. I also enjoy harmonizing to the radio, coming up with hilarious raps about people or situations, and I have a secret obsession with playing the Sims 3.
Career Aspirations:
Now that i have opened up my own Dance studio, I hope to continue to see it grow! I have also choreographed for several competition teams, crews, and groups I want to continue expanding my range and choreograph for more and more people. I would also love to use Dance to help raise awareness for ALS or Lou Gehrigs Disease!
Favorite Sports Team(s):
Terps!
