💖 GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT: JERSEY BARBOSA 💖
It’s hard to imagine LDA without Jersey! She joined Langley Dance Academy in 2011 at just 3 years old, and we’ve had the privilege of watching her grow up in the studio ever since.
Over the years, Jersey has become not only a beautiful dancer, but also someone our younger students look up to. She is kind, hardworking, supportive, and always brings a positive energy to class. Whether she’s helping a teammate, encouraging our younger dancers, or simply showing up each week with a smile, Jersey leads by example and has truly left her mark on our studio.
We are beyond proud of everything she has accomplished and so grateful to have been part of her dance journey for all these years. We love you so much Jersey, we will always be cheering you on!
💙 Favourite Memory at LDA:
My favourite memories will always be watching my friends perform their solos from backstage. The process of hyping them up before they go on, cheering as they perform, and the immediate hug as they exit will always remain a core memory of mine.
🩰 Advice for Younger Dancers:
To ultimately dance for yourself. Every judge will have a different opinion, and the score you receive is subjective. Your worth and value is not determined by the opinion of others!
🎓 Future Plans:
In the long run, I plan to move to Ontario to reunite with family. I plan to attend college in Ontario and study to become a part of the funeral industry, though which role is still to be determined.
Help us congratulate Jersey on her graduation! ✨
