“My passion” Dancing has always been my passion. When I was three years old, my mom took me to my first ballet class with my little pink leotard and matching pink tights and pink ballet shoes.

I prayed so hard and asked God to let go of my fears. As the curtains opened, I saw at least three hundred people staring at me, I wanted to run but I knew there was no turning back now. The music began. And I began to move. I smiled because I was dancing and I forgot all about being nervous. I was dancing like no one was watching me, I forgot about the people and I was just happy dancing in that moment and wishing it would never end. Another few years in ballet I realized I’d never be a prima ballerina, so I learned jazz and hiphop.
