I’m Sadie, age 12 and I train with @edinburghdanceacademy 🥰
I love everything about dance. My happy place is on stage performing.
I like classical genres as I love the challenge of perfecting technique and I work really hard to be the best I can be in that respect. Lyrical and Contemporary are also a favourite as I can express an emotion or tell a story. Jazz is just lots of fun! I honestly couldn’t pick between them.
I am very excited for the year ahead as a CYD? Dance Star. Looking forward to meeting new friends, being inspired and having lots of fun 🎉
