Our final 2026 senior shout out!
My name is Lacey and I am graduating from Centennial High School. I will be attending the University of Maryland, College Park this fall with a major in real estate development, and will be apart of the dance team. I first started dancing at Arabesque when I was 4 years old! My favorite memories are moments with my team before we go on stage at competitions, The Nutcracker performances, and spending time out to eat or on the beach with my friends at nationals. My favorite dances that I have done at Arabesque are Fall in Line (Ms. Gracie’s jazz 2022), Nothing’s as Cool as Swing (Jill’s tap 2025), Pay As You Go (my junior year solo by Jill) and performing Waltz of the Flowers as Butterfly in The Nutcracker. As I have grown up at Arabesque, I have learned how to dance with heart and soul - being able to look past the motions and the steps and dance from a deeper place that comes from my passion for the art. In addition to being able to explore my passion, I have been consistently inspired by the kindness and creativity of teammates and teachers. The community that Arabesque cultivates is so comfortable and I have never been afraid to express myself, which is something no dancer should be hesitant to do. To all dancers currently growing up at Arabesque - explore your passion: movement quality, textures, dynamics, don’t be scared to be unique! Always remember who inspires you and all the people who put in effort for you to do what you love - dance!
