The Competition that Changed Me I have been participating in Native American Indian dancing for around 4 years. I have competed in numerous other competitions like section Conclaves and other small competitions. I have become known in the native community because of the competitions I have competed in, but none of those competitions would or could prepare me for what I would come to face in the summer of 2016.

During the school year of 2015-2016 I was 10 years old turning 11. This was my second year studying ballet at VKDCNY. Before I studied there, I went to other dance schools around NJ.
