VDC Senior Class of 2026 🖤
•Mara Christensen•
I started dance at 4 years old.
I will miss: The feeling of performing and all the lovely people that made dance so special to me. (and Maria’s flautas!)
What advice would you go back and tell younger you? - Don’t be so worried about what people think, it’s more important to have fun.
Most memorable recital routine: My Fireball pom routine!
Hardest recital routine for me and why: First year of combined tumbling, it was very hard to navigate where and when to go on stage.
Favorite dance or tumbling move: Front walkovers, they are just really fun to do!
If you had to live in one of your recital costumes what would it be? - Eminem hip hop Comfrt set!
If someone made a movie about your dance life, what would it be called and why? - The Art of Dance; I love all things art, including music and dance.
Whats one thing you’ve mastered in dance that has absolutely no real world application? - Holding a headstand for long periods of time.
If you had to name your dance style after a food what would it be and why? - I would choose an apple because I enjoy dances like pom which is crisp and vibrant.
