GET TO KNOW ANDREA
When did you start dancing and why?
There happened to be a ballet studio next to my preschool, and my mom noticed the dancers through the windows and decided to sign me up. I quickly fell in love with being onstage.
What inspired you? What inspires you as a pro?
Music is a big inspiration for me. I love thinking about how I can call attention to different features of music by doing the same step or sequence in different ways. I also take inspiration from noticing how other artists, dancers and otherwise, communicate diverse perspectives and life experiences through their art.
Why did you choose BSA, and for some both BSA-SBSA?
Our artistic director, Sofiane Sylve, was a big role model for me as a student both technically and artistically. I was really excited about the opportunity to work with her as part of a growing and diverse company.
