I have made the best friendships from dance and being able to do what we love together is the best experience.”

“Some of my favorite memories from PDC have been going to NYC twice, company sleepovers, dance competitions, and the end of year performances at kingsberry hall. And it’s not just the big things I’ll miss, but the laughs during class, the inside jokes, and of course going to menchies after performances.”
