Sheila

Sheila started dancing ballet and modern at a studio at the age of three. She has danced many places through out Minnesota and has also attended various intensives. She performed in Loyce Houlton's Nutcracker Fantasy for 10 seasons and loves to experiment with as many styles of dance as possible. She joined her high school dance team her sophomore year and became captain as a senior.

Regan

Regan

One of Regan's fondest childhood memories is dancing around her living room while her sister played the piano. Her mother says she was born to be a dancer, and Regan can't disagree. For the past ten years, she has done everything in her power to make dance a major part of her life.

Because she started late in life, Regan felt that she had a major disadvantage compared to other dancers her age, until she realized that she had something that some of them lacked: passion. She feels that without passion, you can never reach your full potential, or be considered a great dancer. She says, "At the end of the day, you go home alone. You have to live with your performance, or the effort you put into your rehearsal. If you haven't poured your whole heart into it, what was the point?"
