About me

I am a college student currently on sabbatical who has recently become a dancer. Due to my love of music and all things Irish/Celtic I came across a show, Celtic Thunder, which features a dancer, Zara Curtis, along with five male solo vocalists. After having the opportuinty to converse with them, I looked up a school in my area and decided to check it out. The rest is history. I also am a singer, though most of what I have done was with a high school or church choir.

Music/Singing Level

Favorite Music

I have very eclectic tastes. I enjoy Contemporary Christian in artists such as Michael W. Smith, Casting Crowns, New Song, etc; some purely instrumental/orchestral though I am very picky; of course the Celtic/World genre with artists like Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder, The High Kings and many others...
