My favorite memories at CSDA will always be the ones made with my friends during class, rehearsals, and behind stage waiting to perform. I’m eternally grateful for the community and friendship that CSDA has brought me. Some of my greatest passions and lessons have come from the amazing group of people I get to work with through dance. Next year I will be attending CSULB as a biology major, and I hope to continue my studies through medical research.

My favorite CSDA memories are going to Vegas Nationals with my best friends, swimming in the lazy river when I was little, and performing my duet with my best friend, Giselle, for the last time before she graduated from CSDA last year. I am so excited to be attending the University of California, Berkeley, where I will be studying Integrative Biology and continuing my dance journey on the Cal Dance Team!

NEXT UP: CAMILLE WARD

Hi! My name is Camille and I’ve been dancing at CSDA for 9 years. It’s been such an amazing experience to be here, and I am going to miss it so much. My favorite memory every year is getting to see and share each dance for the first time each season because we get to see how much it will grow by the time recital comes. I went to Millikan High School and was on the dance team there for four years as well. My proudest accomplishment there is being able to maintain all A’s with a 4.44 gpa while balancing my dance schedule. I plan to either attend college at Cal Poly SLO or UCLA and will major in biological sciences. I can’t say thank you enough to all the teachers I’ve had at CSDA that made me the dancer I am today. I will miss you guys and all my teammates so much!!
