Eight-year-old Lucy hesitated as she approached the pull-up bar, reluctant to proceed. Skills-tests started today; the day she would demonstrate her progress at TAG Gymnastics' summer program.

The girls, self-assured and wearing perfectly-fitted leotards, were built for gymnastics: long, lean, and athletic. To pull themselves up and over the well-worn, padded bar would be easy for them. They had…

love with dance by starting by describing the first time I saw the Nutcracker ballet. I pointed to the stage and said, “I want to do that.” I was a toddler and I found my passion. From that moment all the way to my freshman year of college, I thrived on the dedication and joy that ballet brought to my life.

From the age of three, I loved ballet more than any of the other styles of dance or other extracurricular activities. I remember being backstage for dance recitals and looking up at the “big girls” with their beautiful pointe shoes. They would stand all the way on the tips of their toes and twirl around so easily.
