 What’s the best advice you can give a new or younger dancer?
 
It takes a little while to get things down, but it is so worth it in the end. So just stick to it!
 
What’s your current obsession? Why?
 
One Direction because their music is so good and that’s all I play.
 
What’s your favorite dance-related memory?
 
I think the 2019 Christmas party is one of my favorite things from dance.
 
If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
 
I think I would be a chipmunk because I am small, spazzy, and cute. (According to my mom.)
 
Who do you look up to?
 
Everyone, because I'm small.
 
No, but really, I look up to my mom because she always looks for the good in situations and I look up to Courtney because she has given me a second home and something that I truly love.
