| Do you have any tips for high school dancers who want to continue on in college? | Try out no matter what! You may miss out on having some of the most amazing experiences if you don’t. You never know what long-lasting friendships you could make and how much you would grow not only as a dancer but as an individual in all areas of your life. *Dance your hardest every time you get the chance, it goes by way to fast not to! |
