💙 CDC ALUMNI NEWS: SONIA DOVE! 💙
This week, we’re catching up with Sonia Dove, a senior at Northeastern University–NYC, where she is majoring in Dance with a concentration in Jazz!
Sonia has continued to expand her artistry and versatility in college, training in a wide variety of styles, including tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, West African, Latin jazz, and more! Alongside her dance studies, she is pursuing a minor in Business Management, participating in the John Martinson Honors Program, and staying involved with Northeastern Christian Fellowship.
Sonia has also brought her creativity back to CDC, choreographing two competition pieces last year! One of her pieces, a solo, earned Teen Grand Champion at the National West Coast Dance Explosion, while her small group choreography took home 1st Overall in the Senior Small Group! We are so proud of her accomplishments both onstage and behind the scenes. This season Sonia has choreographed a Senior trio and a contemporary large group! ✨
Most recently, Sonia attended the Summer Study program at Steps on Broadway, training with talented artists including Khori Petinaud, Tanner Lane, Danielle Morgann, and Jaryd Farcon.
Looking ahead, Sonia dreams of performing on Broadway and exploring opportunities in television and film. She also hopes to become an award-winning choreographer, continuing to tell meaningful stories through movement.
Sonia, we love seeing you grow as a dancer, choreographer, and artist! We can’t wait to see where your passion and hard work take you next. Keep shining! 💙
