Best Advice to Young Dancers
“Stay focused on your dream and train to prepare yourself. Don't follow the trend, follow your heart. The best way to be different is to be yourself. Be willing to work as hard as it takes to accomplish your goals. Be kind and humble to all you meet, and throughout your entire journey. “
Favorite Thing about an NYCDA Weekend?
“Being immersed in a world of dance filled with passionate dancers, inspiring teachers, and having the opportunity to share my love for Tap Dance with so many young artists. I love NYCDA!”
