Express Yourself In Dance

This month, we are shining the spotlight on 10-year old Addi Tomlinson! Addi is a 4th grader at Willett Elementary. When asked about school, she said, “I like seeing friends and doing math.”

Addi has been dancing at Dixon Dance Studio for about seven years now. When asked about her favorite dance memory, she said, “When my trio got an award, but we didn't know that we did so we just sat on the stage.” She says that she started dancing because, “My sister started dancing and then it looked fun so I started dancing too.”

When asked who her dance friends are, Addi said, “My dance friends are Dylanne, Ximena, Addison, and Hayden and I like all of my dance friends in class because they are kind, helpful and loyal."

Ms. Morgan says, "I have been lucky enough to teach Addi for the last few years, but this last year has been my favorite. Addi and I worked together A LOT over zoom and even though I know she was sad to not be in the studio with her friends, she kept working hard and was always making me laugh. She is a beautiful dancer, kind friend, amazing student, and I can’t wait to watch her continue to grow!”

When asked about her future goals, she said, “I want to win a scholarship and be able to dance somewhere out of California.” 

Finally, here is her advice to her fellow dancers: “Always have fun and don't worry too much about knowing all the steps, and if you mess up, act like it's part of the dance." We completely agree Addi, and think that is amazing advice!

Congratulations on being this month’s Spotlight Dancer!
