7. My Music History
My way of expressing myself is through dancing, and dancing is put to music
I’ve always had such a great appreciation for music, and putting choreography to the beats and lyrics of different music
Taking classes from different dancers also inspires me because everyone takes a different view with each piece of music
I have never played any instruments, or really had the time! My life has been all about dancing. I’ve danced since I was 4 and started competitively dancing when I turned 8. I have danced in Ballet West’s Nutcracker, on Cottonwood High Schools drill team for 3 years, and Utah States Dance Company.

8. My Favorite Music ♥

9. Soundtrack to my life?
