Hey guys, this week for my blog, I did an interview with my RA who
is on the Moravian Dance Company team. Here is what she has to say about
dancing and the dance company.
How old are you?
I am 21 years old
Where are you from?
I am from Hackettstown, New Jersey
How old were you when you started dancing and why did you start dancing?
I was three years old when I started because my mom put me in one of
those tiny toes baby classes and I guess I liked it because I never
stopped ever since that.
What inspires you to dance?
I'm always inspired to dance because it's a way to express yourself
without saying anything. I personally am someone who never talks about
my problems and I tend to hold things inside that upset me or are hard
for me to deal with, rather than talking about it. I feel like dance is
the one way where I can express myself and let my emotions out without
completely letting go- it's like my therapy.
Where did you originally start to dance?
I originally started dancing at North Jersey School of Dance Arts and
I've danced there until I left for college except for my freshman year
of high school when I went to The Harid Conservatory in Boca Raton, FL- a
ballet boarding school. When senior year of high school came I decided
that I didn't want to be a professional dancer anymore because I knew I
wouldn't be able to deal with the unstable lifestyle.
What made you decide to dance for moco?
I decided to come to Moravian and dance for the company because it was
very laid back, but I knew I could still have some good classes from
some great teachers.
What is your favorite part about dancing for Moco?
I love dancing for the company because there are only about 20 of us so
especially around performance time, we all get really close and have
kind of a special bond.
What is your favorite type of dance and why?
My favorite type of dance is ballet because I think it's the most
beautiful, to be honest. I feel like there's nothing fake about it-
it's just raw talent and the fact that it is performed so it looks
effortless makes it even more amazing. My favorite part about dancing
for Moravian is definitely being with the other girls who dance.
Will you still be dancing for the company next year? I will definitely be dancing for them next year.
Do you think you will still be dancing when you graduate from college?
I would love to dance after college- nothing too serious but something
because it has been such a big part of my life so far that I really
can't imagine my life without it.
