Divine's Story

Performing has always been my passion. Being able to tell a story or share how you feel about something in particular makes it exciting. It comes in handy and tends to be the most powerful when you do not have any more words to say and you just cannot get your feelings out. Every time I perform, when I am on that stage, I feel true freedom. I feel as though you see my true person when I am performing. It doesn't matter if it is singing dancing or acting, as long as I am on that stage I feel at home.

I have been interested in dance since I was four. I have always danced in front of my family and have studied under some techniques. I want to learn everything about dance. All of the components of dance. Peridance is the best program for me because it would expose me to a vast amount of dance techniques. Dancing for seven hours gives me the experience of taking on what professional dancers practice.

A Note from Yulanda Knights, Divine's Teacher

Divine has the potential to be a brilliant young dancer, however, he is still rather new to dance having only been training for the past 3 years. Intensive summer study will push his talent to the next level. He is looking to study dance collegiately and needs extra ballet and modern dance classes to increase his competitiveness. Divine is extremely passionate about his future in dance. He is dedicated and determined to be successful and wants to dance professionally. He is the kind of student that make you want to help him succeed.

Excited for a new experience at Peridance Summer Dance Intensive

I am really excited about attending the summer dance intensive at Peridance. This will be a truly new experience for me because I will not know any of the students or the teachers. This is significant to me because now I can get the true experience and learn what it will take to become a successful dancer. This new environment will allow me to grow as a person, improve my technique, meet new people, and try new things. I will work my hardest every day and get all the tools I can while participating in the summer intensive. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
