Dance is a sport I am very passionate about as I have been dancing for fifteen years. In sixth grade I decided I wanted to be a part of my school’s dance team to spread school spirit and entertain crowds during the halftime of football and basketball games.

Each season, our team volunteers at the Isabella Santos 5K for Kids Cancer. During my Freshman year, our team collected and delivered board games to the Levine Children’s Hospital. In my Sophomore year, our team organized for a basketball game to be dedicated to the Isabella Santos Foundation for Childhood Cancer to raise money for the foundation, and we donated pet supplies to Feline Urgent Rescue and Rehab which is a cat shelter for homeless cats to stay while waiting for their forever home. My junior year, our team again dedicated a basketball game to the Isabella Santos Foundation.The Isabella Santos Foundation was created to raise funds for children’s cancer research and is very important to the dance team because of our close relationship with the Santos family. Prior to that game, I organized and ran a Mini Mav Dance Clinic to raise money for the Isabella Santos Foundation for Childhood Cancer. I hand delivered flyers to each of the three elementary schools in the area, designed t-shirts, and choreographed as well as taught a routine to the participating children to perform at the halftime of a Marvin Ridge Varsity Basketball game. Although it will be difficult to say goodbye to dancing for the Marvin Ridge Varsity Dance Team, I am excited to audition for a collegiate dance team. I plan to audition for the East Carolina University Dance Team in hopes to continue my passion for dance
