sr. company profile: amy lalime

Dance has been a part of my life since I bounced to my first Nutcracker performance at two years old and put my older sisters through incessant viewings of Disney’s Fantasia. I have only been a student at the Academy since the eighth grade, and this is my first year as a senior company dancer, but the teachers, classes, and performance opportunities I’ve come to experience here have helped me grow both as a dancer and an individual.Outside of dance I am very active in my church’s youth group and other community service organizations, such as Norwalk High’s National Honor Society.  As well as ranking fourth in my class, I participate in my school’s spring musicals, have been recognized in several city-wide art shows, and have been taking vocal lessons since the sixth grade.Although college applications currently consume most of my life, in my free time I write (poetry and music) and hang out with my friends- there is no stress that can’t be fixed by a good snack and a good laugh! I’m looking forward to finishing out my senior year- both in school and at the Academy- before I head to an out-of-state university next fall, but will never forget that our past is always part of who we will become.
