(confident, energetic): When I dance, I’m free. Free from rules, free from pressure, free from all the stuff adults think is “important.” Every step, every spin, every jump… it’s me, being alive, being me.

(grinning, reflective): Some people think fun is a distraction. But I think… chaos can bring people together. A laugh, a prank, a silly dance — it makes life a little lighter. And as long as my friends are smiling, I’m doing it right.
