Gillian Staley

My name Is Gillian Staley I’m 14 years Old. I am freshman at the Windsor Locks High School in Windsor Locks Ct. I live with my Parents. I have two siblings a brother and a sister much older than me. I tend to get pampered a lot being the youngest. I have a dog riley, a cat a bunny and a cat fish for pets. I asked my dad for a goat but my mom said no go figure. I love animals if you haven’t guessed.

I am a Dancer. I Dance at DANCE KRAZE Dance Studio in East Windsor CT. I have been dancing for 11 years since I was 3. I started on a Competition team when I was 5 years old. I dance Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, my true love is Jazz and Contemporary.

I started to work on my on choreography when I was 9 years old. I was asked to perform in a talent show at school and needed to put together my own routine. I realized then I had a passion for bringing together music with movement. Music speaks to me. I love the feeling of just being in the moment in a dance routine. You can be or do anything with dance and music. I am very competitive I love to win. I choreographed my first routine at the age of 12 for Competition. I caught the bug to do it every dance season it’s a passion of mine.

I am on the Senior Elite Team. My team is amazing. I am very close to my teachers and team mates. We’ve been together since I was 3. I’m sure they would have some crazy stories about me if anyone asked. I want to teach a competitive team some day. I am very hard on myself when it comes to dance I want the routine to be perfect. I enjoy watching my team mates and supporting them in their routines.

I have a really great memory I have a weird knack for memorizing choreography quickly. I think that has made a huge impact on my dancing.

When I grow up I want to be a phycologist. I want to specifically work with athletes at the high school college level. I want help students work through issues that may arise such as fear of injury, communication with family and coaches. Being an athlete can put a lot of strain on individuals. I want be there to make a difference.

I hope to continue dancing through college on a dance team. Having something that makes you feel good that you enjoy is important I hope everyone out there has something they love the way I love dance.
