Written by Joe Naftal on November 28, 2020

Today we are featuring Miss Lilly in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You”!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

Why do you love teaching dance? I love being able to share my love for dance with all my students. I also love hearing all there stories, and getting to know them more! 

What is an accomplishment you’re most proud of? National dance honor society, never in a million years did I think I would be where I am today in dance. 

Who is your hero and why? My mom, she shows me how to be a stronger person everyday no matter what I am going through. 

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Sushi, it’s my favorite food! 

What do you do in your spare time? I love to do makeup. I love to just pick up a brush and just create whatever comes to mind! 

What’s your favorite vacation spot? Definitely Disney it’s the happiest place on earth!
