Senior spotlight: Athena Santiago 🤍🥳✨
“Ever since I started dancing at Fusia four years ago, I have grown not only as a dancer, but also as a person. When I first came to the studio, I only took ballet, jazz, and tap. Over time, I pushed myself to try new styles like contemporary, contemporary ballet, modern, acro, and hip hop, and through that I discovered how much I truly love dance and expressing myself through movement.
One of my favorite experiences has always been going to PYDF and sharing those memories with the people who have become like family to me. Fusia has always been such a supportive and encouraging environment where everyone cheers each other on, and I am so grateful for the teachers and friends who have believed in me every step of the way.
Dance has taught me to keep going even when something feels difficult or impossible. I will always cherish the memories, friendships, and lessons I have gained at Fusia.”
We love you and are so proud of you Athena! Congratulations on a beautiful senior year! 🩰💓🧑🩰
