Getting to Know You: Miss Victoria!
Written by Joe Naftal on October 2, 2020

Today we are featuring Miss Victoria 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? For me there is nothing more rewarding then teaching dance. The growth you see by the end of the dance season from each dancer makes all the hard work worth it. 

What is an accomplishment you’re most proud of? Being a part of the creation of the Penny Prima Brand,

Who is your hero and why? My hero would have to be my mom. She has always pushed me past my limit and taught me the meaning of hard work. 

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Homemade Mac and Cheese! 

What do you do in your spare time? I like to go on lots of adventures! I love hiking, riding my bike, and obviously dancing.  

What’s your favorite vacation spot? Disney World.
