I love a good adventure and am always looking for ways to challenge and inspire my craft. In the midst of a busy closing of my study in the professional semester at Broadway Dance Center, I'm uping the level of intense study, by participating in the Full-Voice 30 day challenge. After an upbringing with the mantra "Shut up and Dance", I'm finally learning that I have a voice and want to use it to the best of my ability. I'm going to invest as much as I can into this challege and am excited to see how much I can learn and grow in 30 days!!!! Please join me by following my blog and keeping me accountable. It's going to be a fun journey. :)
