Discipline: Dance
Class Year: 2007
Current Gig: Mean Girls on Broadway
Best Lesson Learned at BSA: To always be ok with the person you are! It was such a safe space to explore and grow into beautiful artist.
Most Awkward Moment at BSA: Hmmm if I had to think of an awkward moment it definitely would have been the time it decided to RAIN on the stage as we were performing Pas de Quatre! So awkward but we made it work like true professionals.
Proudest Moment: Being the first graduating dance class to start the tradition of choreographing our own piece for the Spring Concert. Not only did we create something awesome but we left a little bit of a legacy. As you can see I’m very proud!
Funniest BSA memory: My funniest BSA memory was when I did my senior spring concert and during the performance of Pas de Quattre it started to RAIN ONSTAGE! It was the best performance story of my high school years.
