"Every year for my birthday, my husband takes me to a local dance show. In 2019, that happened to be OnStage Season 17... The show was amazing! A variety of dancers, styles, concepts, expressions. Needless to say, I was hooked! I started taking classes over the Summer and auditioned that Fall. I've been dancing with this lovely group ever since and even choreographed my first piece in Season 22!"
