In my 7-year dance career, I have won many national and collegiate level competitions. I currently compete Pro-Am A division Pre-Championship Latin and Championship Rhythm with my pro-teacher James Repetti, and we represent USA. My former partner, Pasha Pashkov, was on season 28 of Dancing with the Stars, and he partnered with Kate Flannery, aka. Meredith Palmer from The Office. James and I are planning to represent USA at the 2021 Worlds Championship at Embassy Ballroom Championships.
I fell in love with Ballroom and Latin as soon as I began my dance journey in college. Back in my teenage years, I did several years of ballet, and back in high school I performed with an Indian dance troupe called “Nachale”. However, my passion for Ballroom and Latin is on a different level. To me, when I am ballroom dancing, I don’t want it to end, and when I am not dancing, I miss it like an old friend that I can’t wait to see again.
