Getting to Know You: Miss Tori!
Written by Joe Naftal on March 2, 2021

Today we are featuring Miss Tori 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 working at Dance Connection? I love working at Dance Connection because it puts me back in the dance world. I love seeing the students in class and learning to love what I love.

What is an accomplishment you’re most proud of? An accomplishment that I’m most proud of is graduating with my Bachelor’s in three years.

Who is your hero and why? My hero would have to be my great Titi Mildred. She is one of the strongest women that I have ever known.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life it would have to be chicken parmigiana. Italian food will always have a place in my heart.

What do you do in your spare time? In my spare time I like to play mmo’s on my PC and do end game raids with my friends.

What’s your favorite vacation spot? My favorite vacation spot is Hawaii because I love the beach and the tropical environment.
