LADM Company helped me develop my dance styles as we assisted a variety of techniques. It also helped improve my ability to pick up choreography and instantly perform it; especially in the summer program, Final Cut. Besides improving my dance skills and technique, LADM Company provided an opportunity to work on my professionalism in the industry. I learned how to be on time, follow a schedule, look the part and keep a great attitude through it all.

During Final Cut, Will wanted to reenact his favorite movie Twilight and of course I had to be the one to help, even though I have never, to this day actually, seen this movie. So it basically turned into Will reenacting both roles as I just stood there, with him feeding me the important lines.

LADM Company taught me how to be a successful working dancer in LA. I learned how to take good headshots. I learned how to pick up choreography quickly and have it performance ready immediately. I learned how to prioritize and make smart decisions that were always for the better of myself and my career. I learned how to travel and be fully functioning in new environments. I was constantly reminded how important it is to stay above the influence. I was introduced to many working choreographers in LA and I had the opportunity to make connections before actually making the next step in moving to LA. I was forced to take multiple genres of dance and many classes of all different levels which made me an overall better dancer and more diverse. I was pushed to my limits and trained long hours which prepared me for what it’s like to rehearse for tour. I learned how to dance in heels and carry myself as a women.

My favorite LADM memories were at Final Cut. The experience of learning/performing pieces and being with amazing people for a week straight striving to better myself and my talent. I enjoyed auditioning for company more than anything! It made the year so much more rewarding.
