Family Spotlight: Christina H.

Name: Christina H.
 
Dancer at SRL: Aubrielle
 
How long has your family been with SRL?
 
2 years
 
How did you pick your dancer’s name?
 
Aubrey and Brielle were our two favorite girl names, so I put them together and that’s how she became Aubrielle.
 
Why Irish dance?
 
Aubrielle has been doing other types of dance for years but Irish dance is beautiful and unique.
 
What’s your favorite dance-related memory?
 
When Aubrielle was 4 years old she was up on stage for her recital and throughout her entire jazz dance she had the biggest frown on her face. She did a great job dancing, but that frown had her father and I laughing throughout the entire number.
 
What did you want to be when you grew up when you were little? Why?
 
When I was little, I wanted to be a waitress when I grew up because waitresses were so nice, and they always served my favorite food.

How do you think dance has positively affected your dancer?
 
Dance has built her confidence and has opened her up to experiencing new things.
