Summary
I am highly committed to dance and have been dancing from a young age, competing in a variety of events and performances. I attend regular training on Monday and Friday evenings, as well as Saturday afternoons, and I successfully auditioned for TS Dance Academy at BOA in Birmingham. Through this programme, I train one Sunday a month with professional dancers from around the world, which has helped me develop discipline, confidence, and teamwork skills.
Alongside my dance commitments, I am currently completing my GCSEs, which will finish in June. I study Triple Science, History, and Maths, and I am a motivated student with predicted high grades. I have also successfully secured a place at President Kennedy School Sixth Form for September, where I will be studying Sociology and Maths.
In addition, I take part in school productions each year, performing in shows that are presented to the public in theatres. These experiences have helped me build confidence, communication skills, and the ability to perform under pressure.
