Alexa ronquillo

My name is Alexa Ronquillo. I have been dancing for as long as I can remember. When I was really little I would watch dance classes on Youtube and pretend I was taking those. As I got older I joined the Dance Connection dance studio. I dance most of my life at this studio, until I joined my Middle school dance team in eighth grade. Currently, I am only dancing at the school with Dance Fusion. There is nothing more exhilarating than going on stage and competing a dance that you have been spending so much time perfecting. I want to be a part of Dance Fusion so I can compete and perform with them.

I have many things I want to try and accomplish this year on the team. Some of those goals is to get both my kip-up and my front head spring. I want to get these tricks because they are the two most common in dances. Another goal I have is to get my toe touch. This is because a lot of girls on the team have very high and pretty toe touches. I want to be able to match with them in dances to make our team look better.

I would love to go to BYU in Utah. It has always been my dream to be apart of their dance team. After college I want to become a dance teacher so I can continue doing what I love and to share it with others.

My solo is about someone trying to help and save someone they love. It was very difficult to learn the difference between dancing for the camera and dancing for the stage. It was hard for me to remember to keep my facials because of the different camera angles. A valuable lesson I learned while making this was to keep my facials 100% at all times. I plan on showing my face and my emotions throughout my dance more on my text solo.
