Express Yourself In Dance

This month, we are shining the spotlight on 15-year old Bella Wilson!  Bella is a sophomore at Dixon High School. When asked about school she said, “I currently miss the school events and seeing my friends, but I love that online school is a bit more flexible and I can take naps after my zoom classes!”

Bella has been dancing at Dixon Dance Studio since she was five years old. She says that her favorite dance memories are, “getting my first scholarship at LUX this year, and assisting Ms. Morgan’s pre-ballet class!”

When asked who her dance friends are, Bella said, “Everyone at the studio is my dance friend! I love that everyone is so supportive and kind to one another!"

Ms. Morgan says, "Where do I start with our amazing Bella?? I could go on and on about how kind, silly, gracious, enthusiastic, smart, and energetic Bella is, but perhaps my favorite quality of her's is the ability to be herself.  She's not afraid to try new things, is endlessly curious, AND LOVES to ask questions. Oh, and did I mention that she is an incredible baker?! I know we will see great things from Bella, and it is a joy to know her."

When asked about her future goals, she initially said, “I mean, I want to learn how to juggle 😂”. She then added, “This isn’t really a goal, more of something I try to do everyday. I like to always meet and talk to new people/make their day.”

Finally, here is her advice to her fellow dancers: “Advice that I would give to other dancers is, to not think about it too much. We are there to have fun and enjoy ourselves. It is ok to not always be perfect. Everyone sees, expresses and feels dance differently and it’s amazing that everyone can dance in their own beautiful way!"

That is beautiful advice Bella and we couldn’t agree more! Congratulations on being this month’s Spotlight Dancer!
