I didn't grow up as a dancer. I was introduced to dance when I was 4, but I would say my dance journey truly started when I was 19 (2019). I was a Kpop dance coverist who danced for fun. Since February 2023, I have trained myself to become a diverse dancer. Lately, my dance strengths are popping and waving, and I am interested house, krumping, and breaking. I'm always inspired by the DMV community and I give all the credit to them for my growth in dance.
I am someone who loves to create. Recently, I believe that I could make a career with dance part-time while pursuing to be a full-time graphic designer. Not only will this develop my dance journey and open doors to new opportunities, but it could be a gateway to work on graphic design opportunities in other creative projects, especially those which include dance.
I would like to use the money to help out my family. I will probably use the renaming money to help pay off my loan for graduate school.
