\"Sage<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Degree: B.A. in Dance with a Performance, Choreography, and Theory Concentration and BS in Pre-Exercise Science
Graduation Year: 2027
Hometown: Hendersonville, NC\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you first get interested in dance?<\/strong>
I tried a lot of hobbies as a kid and none really suited me. I started dancing when I was 7 at my hometown dance studio and never stopped. I also started teaching dance at age 16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


What kind of career do you hope to have?<\/strong>
I hope to have a career in dance that fulfills me artistically and financially. I really would like to have the opportunity to share my pieces with other communities and set my choreography on professional dancers. I would also love to continue sharing my passion for dance with kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite thing about the Department of Dance?<\/strong>
My favorite thing about UNC Charlotte’s dance department is the people. It is filled with so many inspiring and dedicated professionals that are so easy to build personal connections with. I have also made some of my greatest friends during my time in this department. I love being surrounded by like-minded artistic professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you participate in any community activities or work in the Charlotte arts community?<\/strong>
I work as a dance teacher at a local Charlotte dance studio called Dance Expressions. I adore this studio, my co-workers, and students. I can’t wait to be a part of this studio for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun?<\/strong>
When I am not in class, I love rehearsing with my friends in our student organization named MOVE Dance Alliance. I also love spending time with my friends and my little brother Everett. I also love playing the guitar and collecting vinyls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
