My role within the production started from an early age, as both of my parents were involved with the event.� When I was old enough I auditioned for the�Pepper Youth (PY)�at the age of eight and danced in the song �I Love Rock and Roll�.� After I reached�the age of 15 I started to choreograph dances for the�Pepper Youth as well as standing in for�members the adult dance cast.� When I was 18 I moved into the Adult cast where I co-choreographed group dances as well as dancing in a solo and a duet.

Taking part in these shows has given me experience performing on stage from a young age,�as well as giving me the knowledge of how a production runs.� I was able to see how the show was directed as well as how the crew worked with the stage, lighting and sound to enhance what was happening in the performance.� The shows helped me learn to adapt to live music when dancing.� The musicians would take their cue off of the singers, which meant that if the singer missed out a verse, extended the song or if�the tempo changed I would have to adapt my movement to fit with the music.� Having this performance experience has taught me how to be professional both on and off stage and how to adapt to certain situations when things go wrong.� This has helped me�to develop as a dancer and a performer. �I have been able to successfully apply these skills to all areas of my dancing.
