I have been dancing for about 17 years now, and two of those years are
here at Stonehill. I started dancing at the New Hampshire Academy of
Performing Arts back at home and graduated from their company in 2011. I
have tried several different styles, but I have always found my
favorite to be tap and jazz. One of the only styles that I have not
tried is ballroom, and that is something that I would love to learn in
the future. I got involved in Dancing with the Stonehill Stars through
the Stonehill College Dance Team. This is the second year that this
event has taken place as a fundraiser for our competition to Daytona. As a
first year member of the dance team I was unsure of what to expect
going into this, but absolutely loved work with a staff and fellow dance
member to create a crowd pleasing dance. I have the pleasure of working
with Kristen Pierce, the director of Res Life, and she was incredible.
It was very easy to teach her, and she stepped right up to help Rose
McClimans and I think of ideas. She was dedicated to this competition
and went beyond our expectations. I definitely plan on continuing dance
in the future. As a dance minor I hope to be able to teach and work with
other dancers after graduating.-----
