“My parents inspired me to start dance, and I’ve been doing it since I was three. I love it so much, so it just makes me keep doing it, that is why I come back every day. The most memorable moment for me is the last audition season when I got Snow Queen, it is the role I’ve wanted since I was a kid. The dance environment is a very accepting and loving place. It’s such a great community and I really love my studio and the people there. I’ve made so many friends along the way and have made my closest friends from dance, mainly because we grew up in the studio together. They are all so accepting and I think of everyone as my second family. The dance recital I will never forget is my first Nutcracker in 2016 as a party girl. After the recital my parents brought me red roses as they do every single recital I have,” Bock-Renz said.
