For so long I felt like I was stagnant in my dancing. I felt like there was no improvement however Towson changed that for me. Since I have been here at Towson I have noticed that my dancing abilities, my dance knowledge, and creativity has increased.

Towson dance department lives by the motto dance for a life time and I truly believe in it.
As a child I always wanted to go professional but as I grew older felt like my chances of doing so were not realistic.

Someone in the department told me that I have to believe that I am more than enough, and in that moment it clicked for me. Because I am more than enough I will dance for a lifetime. We are all unique and what I have to offer to the world is important. Going to DTH will not only help me improve as a dancer but it will also be a symbol of courage to toward “dancing for a life
time”.
