⭐️SENIOR SPOTLIGHT⭐️
Kayla began dancing at the age of seven. She trained in various types of dance but quickly developed a special passion for the artistry and elegance of ballet. To Kayla, ballet is not merely based on perfect technique or performing on stage; but about expression and storytelling. When words fall short, ballet has always given her a way to express herself through movement. Growing up, she continued to rely on ballet as place of comfort, strength, and solace.
Kayla took her first class at AAB two years ago and will forever be touched by the warmth and kindness she was shown from the very beginning. She has fallen in love with the studio and is so thankful to have joined the AAB family. Kayla will attend Binghamton University with a major in Human Development, hoping to become an elementary teacher one day. She also plans to join the university’s dance company where she can continue her passion for dance. Although she is headed off to college, Kayla plans to return to AAB and remain connected to this wonderful dance community.
Finally, Kayla would like to express how incredibly grateful she is to Ms. Donatella for the endless encouragement, support, and generosity she has shown her over the past two years. The memories Kayla has made at AAB will always hold a special place in her heart and she will never forget the kindness she received from Ms. Donatella. As Kayla steps into this next chapter, she is going to lead with the grace, discipline, and courage she has learned through dance.
