My dad has always been my biggest supporter

It’s time for my Senior Prom! My senior year in high school is rapidly coming to an end. It’s been a whirlwind of activities.. Senior breakfast, yearbooks.. all of the last time stuff.. As well as all of the celebrations. Last night was my Senior Prom. It was a night full of fun with friends, LOTS of dancing, and eating!

Our school handles prom a little differently than most schools. We are required to be in school the day of the prom for a certain amount of time before we can be dismissed to get ready, so this year, the school decided to hold a Senior Bagel Breakfast and distribute our yearbooks before we were dismissed. They took attendance at the breakfast to make sure we were all there, if you don’t show up for school, you are not allowed to go the prom. We had a great time, looking through our yearbooks, getting them signed. It was a nice way to spend the morning, before we turned our attentions to getting ready.

I spent the rest of the morning getting ready, it was nice to be able to do it leisurely without having to rush. I went over to my date’s house to take pictures and then we were on our way over to the school. The school takes us over to the location of the prom, so they do a red carpet arrival, formal pictures and provide appetizers for us while we are waiting to board the buses. They do a great job of making it a celebration.

The next morning, we are all required to attend school or we can’t participate in our graduation. At first, I didn’t understand this.. I thought this is our special night! Why are they making it so difficult for us to enjoy?? Then I hear stories of horrible accidents and it started to dawn on me that the school is just trying to protect us, make sure that while we have a celebration, we all arrive safely at home and can then look forward to our final and biggest celebration of all.. Graduation..

Hello everyone! My name is Hannah and I am a college freshman at the University of Tampa! I am double majoring in Dance and Human Performance. Some of my aspirations include being Cinderella at Disney World, performing on a cruise ship and one day, having my own training facility where I can design strength and conditioning programs for elite athletes as well as help dancers prevent and rehabilitate injuries. I am very passionate about dance and believe that dance lessons and performance opportunities should be obtainable to everyone, regardless of monetary situations. I have had the extreme fortune to be able to train with some prestigious dance programs including a summer intensive with the Radio City Rockettes, invited to a week long intensive in Louisiana with Tokyo the Choreographer as well as train in tap with Anthony Lo Cascio, a veteran member of Tap Dogs. I have also have the honor of being selected to be a Ballet in the City ambassador as well as a past ambassador for Traveling TuTus, a program that collects gently used and new dance wear and shoes to help out areas in need. My favorite dance genre is Tap, I feel it lets me truly let go and be myself. I also love music, and I play the flute. This has helped me with my dance skills, helping me with musicality and timing with my steps. Especially with Tap dancing, where a basic of music theory and understanding is needed. I also enjoy working out at the gym, with yoga being my favorite thing to do. I find it very relaxing while helping me develop strength and flexibility. I used to compete in dance competitions, and now am trying my hand at pageants. It’s been a very interesting year so far, and I am looking forward to learning more on how to be a good representative of not only the American Coronet Pageant, but as a representative of the State of New York.
