Momentum Dance

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Sophia Strickland 🎓

In just two years of ballet, Sophia has shown incredible dedication, determination, and work ethic. Balancing high school, a job, and dance, she has continued to rise to every challenge with grace and perseverance.

Sophia plans to attend Western Washington University and work toward her goal of becoming an elementary school librarian while continuing her ballet training in Bellingham!

A special note from Mr. Kyle: “I often wish I had found her sooner—she has all the qualities of a world-class ballerina. While she plans to pursue dance as a hobby after graduation, I’m so excited that she’ll continue her pointe journey and keep ballet in her life.”

Congratulations, Sophia! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what your future holds!
