Hey there! I'm Lily, and I just started taking ballet classes here. I've always been interested in dance, but this is my first time trying out contemporary ballet. It's definitely challenging, but it feels so good to move my body like this.
I actually moved here from New York City not too long ago. I was studying at the Juilliard School and had always dreamed of becoming a professional dancer. But then I injured myself pretty badly during rehearsals for a big performance, and it kind of derailed my plans. It's taken me a while to recover physically, but now that I'm feeling better, I want to try again.
Ballet has always been such a big part of my life, even before the injury. I mean, I grew up taking classes and just fell in love with it. My parents were always really supportive too, which meant so much to me. They even let me quit high school and go straight into the conservatory program at Juilliard.
I know that this class is going to be challenging, but I'm excited to push myself and see what I can achieve. And honestly, just being in a dance studio again feels so good. It's like coming home.
