My name is Tess and I am a graduating senior at Fairfield Ludlowe High School. I will be attending Boston College in the fall and can’t wait to be on The Heights. I have been a dancer since I was 3 years old and have been competing for 8 years. I have grown up dancing at D’Valda and Sirico Dance and Music Center  and my junior and senior year I have been captain of the dance company. I do a wide array of styles including contemporary, ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, afro, and musical theater, my favorite being jazz! Every summer I also attend Joffrey Ballet School where I am completely immersed in the expertise of professionals in the dance industry. While dance has been my main focus throughout my life I also was in the vocal company at D’Valda for 4 years, so definitely have experience with both. Being a versatile performer myself I can’t wait to share my passion with the campers this summer. I am so excited to be surrounded by such talent at FPAS and can’t wait to have so much fun!
