What is your dance/performance background: I have worked with, performed, and trained with dance companies in Calgary including; The Show Company, Illfx Education, and most recently Flomatk at Pulse Studios with renowned choreographer Shotyme.
In recent years, I have had the opportunity to perform in music videos. Having the privilege to work with artist’s such as; Leaving Thomas, Souls in Rhythm, The EarthTONES, and Mak London has been an amazing experience for my skill set and dance career.
Why did you decide to audition for the Outriders: I decided to audition for the Outriders because I wanted to be challenged even further as a dancer, and take on something I have never done at a professional level. I also wanted to be a role model and ambassador for younger generations in the City of Calgary.
What is your top Outriders appearance to attend: Since this is my first season, I have yet to find out which appearance is my favourite! I am looking forward to The Calgary Stampede, as the Outriders have a few exciting appearances to attend during it. I love stampede time in Calgary. It is such a fun and exciting environment to be in. I am excited to help at the Bootleggin’ Stampede breakfasts, and to be a part of the Calgary Stampede parade!
