What would you be doing if you weren't dancing?
Christopher Charles McDaniel (left): "I'd be a singer or an actor of some sort. I can't imagine not being in the arts in some capacity. When my career ends, I'd love to be a full-time ballet teacher or artistic director."
Julia Cinquemani (center left): "I would be in school, but most likely still involved in the arts."
Allyssa Bross (center right): "I'd love to be doing something related to physical therapy or sports medicine. Ballet is such a physically demanding art form, so I'm very in tune with my own body, and would love to be in a profession dealing with something similar. I'd also love to be acting and modeling."
Liz Walker (right): "I’m interested in the preservation of old buildings, so I'd probably work in restoration or historic preservation. I love architecture and history, and I always imagine how people interacted with buildings and spaces in the past. But, nothing beats getting to perform onstage and dance every day!"
