Adela, age 12

Here are some of her favorite photos and a little bit about her! Get to know her, she’s an awesome kid 

Why do you dance?
“Dancing makes me feel good in a way that when I’m dancing, all I’m thinking about is dance. I’m not thinking about what I have to do at home, or… I”m just trying to focus on what I need to do and how I can do it how it’s supposed to look.”
What are your goals this year for dance?
“Some of my goals this year are to get more flexible, get better at my spotting for turns, and just to improve on technique more for ballet and other styles.”
What are some of your hobbies outside of dance?
“Something I love to do besides dancing is I sew, crochet, I make jewelry – I have my own business – that’s my stuff over there. So, besides dancing, I definitely like – just running my business while making things like jewelry and scrunchies and bags.”
What is your favorite style of dance?
“My favorite style of dance is ballet and I guess it’s because I feel like I can make something out of it for the future, and I feel like being a ballerina as an adult, is a really cool thing that would be really fun.”
What is your favorite kind of music to listen to? What about to dance to?
“My favorite kind of music to just listen to are older things, like I have a record player and it’s all the Beatles and Elton John – people like that. But my favorite music to dance to is something that’s a little bit more flowy, a little bit more calm – like songs that we generally do in Contemporary.”
What do you feel are some benefits of dance?
“I think the biggest benefit of dance is all the opportunities. We’re going to Miami and possibly Disney, and I just think it’s really cool.”
