It is really beautiful to see the impact a sport or activity can make on a young life. Navaeh Pontes-Botelho, now 10 years old, has been dancing since 2016, and the affect it has had on her has been profound.
“It was a little rocky at first, but by the time she hit the stage she had blossomed into this spunky, confident little girl. L.A. Dance Studio has been a great support,” says her mom, Lucy.
Navaeh’s dance classes consist of ballet, jazz, and lyrical.
“Lyrical and jazz are my favourite styles,” she says. “Through dancing you can express your feelings in different ways. I want to keep dancing for a long time. I want to say thank you to Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Kelly. Thank you for teaching me and thank you for helping to make it fun.”
