Dance Diary

I started dancing when I was seven years old and I haven't quit since, despite a difficult injury recently. And I've made a lot of progress over the years! This is a photo diary showing how my dancing has evolved and progressed throughout nine years, at least ten productions, and two different schools.

Dance is my new favorite! Seven year old me and two year old sister.
