Quote Marks
"I dance because I love how it allows your creativity to run free. When people think of creativity they think of drawing, painting and arts and crafts, but dance allows us to be creative with our bodies and it’s truly so special. Dance is also my favorite way to express myself and what’s going on inside my head and for that I’m so grateful."
