“I think dance makes me the happiest just because it is a great outlet for any emotions you have going on in your life. Or just anything in general you’ve been dealing with, your relationships with people, or just things that you’re struggling with yourself. It’s easy. Once the music starts you can finally focus and it’s great to just be yourself. Especially being able to let go, and it’s great to just dance and be yourself. It’s a great way to figure out who you are as a person. It’s also great to figure out your personality and see how you deal with setbacks. For example, setbacks with choreography like if you can’t pick up something really fast. It’s easy to just focus on what you’re doing and find out how well you deal with challenges or setbacks,” Soph. Michelle Baum said.
