Favorite Encore Recital:
Flashback (1996) This was my favorite show because it was the 1st time I was in 4 jazz dances. Alvina knew 2 of my all time favorite dances she had choreographed in the past were Thriller and Newsies. I was so lucky she invited me to do those dances with her other class!
When I'm not at Encore:
Spending time with my friends and family and traveling any and everywhere possible. You can also run into me at all kinds of live music events, big and small especially ones outside! Oh yea and when the weather is nice you will also find me Geocaching (you should try it)
