Today's Senior Spotlight is Haley Premo! Haley has been dancing with us for the better part of 12 years! She puts everything into all of her performances! She is a beautiful dancer! From the start, Haley had the geart of a dancer! She has done ballet, modern, and lyrical. She is one of the hardest working people I have ever worked with! She has grown from the little girl that did Reflection, Everything is AWESOME and Hard-knock Life into a young woman performing in a solo on Sunday! I am so proud of her!
This summer, she will be working at Dunkin, saving money. After that, she will be heading off to Kent State for a BA in animal ecology. She plans to continue dancing in her life, hoping to join an adult company or pursue it professionally in the future. She is excited to see what life has in store for my next chapter! We are too!! We love you Haley!!
