Favorite thing about the UWSPDT:
Being able to dance with a new group of dancers each year that are as dedicated and passionate about dance as I am. I love seeing how different the team is each year and to see how much we grow. Every year we get dancers from out of state and all of our dancers come from a large variety of dance backgrounds. It’s cool to see our backgrounds collide as we become a dance family.

Favorite thing about the UWSPDT:
So far, my favorite thing has been watching my competitors from high school become my absolute best friends. The growth not only in dance but in friendships throughout each year is just amazing. I wouldn't have it any other way! Since we see our teammates a lot, especially in the first semester, we are more like family than just friends. I love these girls with my whole heart!
