Express Yourself In Dance

This month, we are shining the spotlight on 10-year old Annalisa Abundez! Annalisa is a 4th grader at Neighborhood Christian School. She says her favorite part about school is, “seeing my friends everyday, even if it is with a mask on!”

Annalisa has been dancing at Dixon Dance Studio since she was three years old. She says that her favorite dance memory is, “When I got selected for dance company! Miss Amy gave me a letter, I remember jumping up and down when reading it. It made me feel so excited!” She says that she started dancing because, “I love the rhythm of music and how it feels in my heart.”

When asked who her dance friends are, Annalisa said, “I love everyone from students to teachers!! I look up to my sister Lisette. I love how she’s a hard worker and never gives up."

Ms. Morgan says, "That Annalisa is such a little firecracker, and I absolutely love having her in class!! Her genuine spirit always brightens the room she is in, and I love how excited she is for everything. Not a class goes by that she doesn't make me laugh. I'm so grateful to be her teacher!"

When asked about her future goals, she said, “I want to be a veterinarian because I love animals and helping them."

Finally, here is her advice to her fellow dancers: “Don’t bring yourself down when you’re dancing, just keep trying." We completely agree Annalisa! 

Congratulations on being this month’s Spotlight Dancer!
