Last but not least, we have Alexis Darling as our final Senior Spotlight of this year! Alexis has been dancing at PADC for 14 years. She competes on Senior Elite Jazz, Lyrical, and Tap, Production, Elite Contemporary, A-team, and Ballet Company.

Alexis’ favorite memory at PADC was winning at The Big Show last year at Nationals; “I remember hearing Northern Attitude play and just being so happy that we had won. We had a year full of struggles and it was just so great seeing our hard work get recognized and winning for the seniors that season!”

Alexis plans to attend Indiana University, majoring in Psychology and hopes to become a sports or child psychologist!

We love you Lexi!🩵

This week’s Senior Spotlight is Dani Vallieres! Dani has been dancing since she was 4, with the past 6 years being at PADC! She has taken ballet, pointe, lyrical, modern, jazz, hip hop, tap, and musical theater. She is currently on Senior Company, competing in lyrical, tap, and jazz. She is also on A Team!

Dani says she has far too many good memories to pick just one favorite; “I have loved growing up on stage dancing with my best friends.“

Dani plans to attend Bowling Green State University where she hopes to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up!

We love you Dani!💜
