Performing Art – Calgary

I fell in love with dance at the age of three. Since then I have spent 15 years in the studio training in various disciplines of dance, some of which include jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, contemporary, and many others. I have performed on stages all around Alberta at competitions and other performance opportunities. With my competitive team I have opened for the Harlem Globetrotters at the Saddle Dome, performed at Calaway Park, and danced in many parades in Airdrie. Recently I was nominated for Youth Artist of the Year at the Airdrie Mayors Night of the Arts 2018. I became a finalist and performed a piece of my own choreography on the night of the awards accompanied by the two other finalists. I was also featured in AirdrieLife magazine for my work in the community. Dance is something I continue to pursue because of my sheer love of the art and I will be forever grateful that it has taken me this far.
