What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreShe loves the family she has gained from her sport and how she gets to poor everything she’s got into her dancing. Dance is the single most Important part of her life. It has helped her grow into the strong, loving, and selfless person she is today. The feeling of pure serenity when she dances is something she lives and breathes for. She especially loves how there is always something more she can learn or improve on.
There is no single person who inspires her, however her biggest inspiration are the dancers in third world countries. These dancers do not train in state of the art studios and are taught by award winning choreographers. Nor do they have all the latest and greatest dance wear. They dance because of the joy it brings them, regardless of everything else. This is what inspires her and what she strives to showcase in her performances.
By far her acceptance into Team Canada Dance-Acro is the accomplishment that makes me the most proud. Other instructors have undermined her abilities and they’re have been experiences that have tested her commitment to her sport, but the fact that she pushed through all of this and never gave up makes me so proud. It is her determination and love for dance that pushed her to challenge herself and by doing so she is now a 2026 team Canada dance athlete on her way to the IDO world championships!
