Bayley’s Interview:

How long have you been dancing?

“I have been dancing since I was three, so, fourteen years.”

How did you get involved with dance?

“My mom took me to a dance studio because I didn’t like t-ball or soccer. She figured that I should be in dance.”

What motivates you to keep dancing every day?

“I see people who don’t get the chance to dance anymore and it pushes me because I have this wonderful opportunity to do it and do what I love everyday. Even though I can’t do somethings some days because of injuries or other things I have to do, I just remember that I get to do it for a life time.”

What do you expect from the dance team this year?

“I think that we are going to do big things this year. We have an amazing team and, amazing captains and a wonderful coach. He pushes us everyday he gives us all these corrections, and does so much stuff for us. I think we are going to be very successful and hopefully get a lot of wins, defeat or national championship title and get it again. Hopefully get more awards with that.”

How do you feel about Skylar being on the dance team as a freshman?

“I honestly love it. We are best friends. We get to do what we love together and she gives me so much joy. I love watching her dance so, it is really fun!”
