Cecillia Stover is well on her way of pursuing a dream to become a choreographer.
The Rochelle Township High School sophomore has been dancing since she was two years old, starting with programs at the park district and enrolling in classes with a local dance group Just For Kix.
Stover participated in competitions with the RTHS varsity dance team and has started taking classes at a dance studio, usually practicing two hours a day, six days a week. Performances are done locally, but the competitions, says Stover, can go outside of the state.
“My goal is to continue a career in dance after school,” Stover said. “I already began this dream by instructing multiple classes at Just For Kix and coaching the Rochelle Junior Tackle dance teams. After high school I hope to further my training in dance and make a living by being a traveling choreographer.”
Life changing
Recently Stover received word she has been accepted into a four-week dance program at the world-renown Joffrey Dance Company in New York City in July. After auditioning with over 50 other girls of different ages and levels, Stover admits the news she was accepted into the program was exciting.
