Freshman Year
HC: What is your favorite style of dance?
CO: Hip-hop is my favorite to perform, but contemporary is my favorite to watch.
HC: What has been your favorite Velocity performance in the past 4 years?
CO: I have to choose only one?? Either dancing at a Celtics game my freshman year, or any of the i2i shows.
HC: Why did you want to become Velocity Co-President?
CO: Velocity practice is always my favorite time of the week because I can forget about everything going on and just dance with all my best friends. This group of girls has been such a family for me throughout college, and I wanted to provide that same sense of support for the new members. Velocity has done so much for me so I wanted to give back.
Sophomore Year
HC: What is your favorite dance in EXPO?
CO: The opening number! It’s so fun and gets me excited for the rest of the show.
HC: If you could only do one style of dance, what would it be?
CO: Hip-hop!
Junior Year
HC: Do you have any fun facts about yourself?
CO: I met Buddy from cake boss in middle school! The first time I ever left the United States was to go to China on SIE.
