What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Dance holds a special place in my heart, because it blends physical conditioning with expressive artistry. It fosters my mental health, instills discipline, and helps me build strong work ethics and confidence. Dance also played a key role in helping me overcome asthma. With its many styles, dance provides continuous opportunities for personal growth. It has also created lasting friendships, even among competitors. It's truly a remarkably supportive community. Most of all it is so much fun!!

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

I get my inspiration from the people who really believe in me. My mom is my biggest supporter, she's always there for me with everything she's got, which gives me the strength to keep going. I also have many amazing teachers who've made a huge difference. Ms. Coleta provides constant encouragement, she gets my personality and knows exactly how to help me out. And then there's Ms. Kim. She might not even know it, but when she tells me, "you're improving so much" it motivates me to grow more.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One of the proudest moments was an invite to a week-long title competition after an intense season. Dorian threw his whole heart into the journey, showing unmatched dedication through early mornings and late night rehearsals. This new level of competition tested his limits, but he remained completely invested and committed every step of the way. Watching his continuous hard work, athletic endurance, and heart bring him to that stage was a powerful testament to what true dedication looks like.
