Hello Cowboys Nation!
I cannot express how excited and grateful I am to be back with 抖阴视频 Rhythm and Blue team this year! Dancing with the best dance team in the NFL has been a dream of mine, and I'm glad I get to dance with some wickedly talented people.
I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and lived there up until I was four which is when my family moved to Texas, and we have been here ever since. I started dancing at a dance studio when I was only three and started training and competing in hip hop when I was twelve. I continued doing hip hop throughout middle school and high school and even in college at UTA where I was a dance coordinator for one of the student organizations. I stopped dancing when the pandemic hit in 2020, but I missed it too much and decided to pick it back up in 2022 by taking classes with Kpop Dance Dallas. I then joined their competitive team called Izavibe and eventually became the captain. Now, I teach dance as well as perform and living my best life and making my dreams of being a pro dancer come true!
No amount of words can begin to describe how thankful I am to be a part of the team for this season and for the support I have been given by friends, family, and fellow dancers in the community. I am looking forward to meeting all of you Cowboys fans at the games and to make lasting memories!
GO COWBOYS!
