Arts Unionville - Dance Program
I am enrolled in the elite, selective 4-year audition-based Arts Unionville - Dance Program at Unionville High School, a rigorous, conservatory-style program providing advanced training in contemporary, jazz, hip hop, and stage performance. This program has been instrumental in enhancing my favorite hobby and special skills—dance— helping me develop strong technical ability, musicality, artistic expression, and confident stage presence.
Throughout my time in the program, I have performed in numerous school productions such as Dance Highlights, Alchemy, and the annual December showcases, consistently applying precision, energy, and expressive intention from warm-up to curtain call. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of performance dynamics, ensemble coordination, and the ability to communicate emotion and storytelling through movement.
In addition to performing, I have explored choreography and leadership by creating original dance pieces for assignments and shows, coaching peers on timing, counts, and cues, and leading warm-ups and cooldowns. Collaborating closely with lighting, costume, and technical teams has further deepened my appreciation for the full scope of production work and creative collaboration.
Beyond school performances, I am passionate about using my dance skills to contribute to community and multicultural events, performing pieces that celebrate cultural diversity and foster connection across different audiences. Engaging with these events has shown me the power of dance as a medium for cultural storytelling, dialogue, and shared human experience.
Through the AU - Dance Program, I have also developed essential artistic and personal skills, including kinaesthetic awareness, partnering techniques, stamina, discipline, and creative expression. The program has been a central part of my high school experience, nurturing not only my growth as a dancer but also my commitment to sharing my skills and passion to make a positive impact in my community.
