My Soccer Path

My Path Anita said “you’re really talented with your feet.” With a grin on my face, I realized that I was born to be an athlete! At age five my family and I would always go to parties. I danced all day long making my feet exhausted like a person running a marathon. Although I love to dance, I also have a big passion for soccer.

Bachata came from the Dominican Republic and is a really popular dance for Latinos. With excitement I asked my parents and they both said “yes.” So right away I texted Anita to let her know I could join her Bachata team. I now dance at Lines Dance Studio as a professional chambelan and Bachata
