many opportunities to meet new friends and have new experiences, I have improved so much as a dancer over this past year. Through so much encouragement and constructive criticism, I have grown to love dance even more than I thought I ever could! While it wasn’t easy in the beginning, I was pushed to always keep trying and to focus on even the smallest details, especially in ballet. Not only have I become physically stronger, I am so much more detail-oriented and can easily find ways to improve and keep pushing to be better not just in dance, but in my social and academic life as well! Not only is Pofahl an amazing studio, it is directly affiliated with Dance Alive National Ballet. Dance Alive is a national touring ballet company that has the most amazing and beautiful performances such as the Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and Swan Lake. It also has the kindest, most inspiring professional dancers. Dance Alive presents so many unique opportunities for Pofahl students. One of those is performing in Nutcracker. This is my first year in Nutcracker and I can’t even find the words for how excited I am! The whole production is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to be a part of the Gainesville shows and touring shows! Dance Alive gives students so many opportunities to perform, and performing is one of my favorite parts about being a dancer. Being able to be a part of such a magnificent production of the Nutcracker is truly amazing and has really put me in the Christmas Spirit. Some other fun facts about me? I have been playing the piano since I was six. One of my favorite parts of my day is seeing my dog, Cookie, who is absolutely adorable and never fails to make me laugh. Two quotes I live by are “You go out there, you give 110%,” from Bedazzled and “If you ain’t first, you’re last,” from Talladega Nights.
