Victoria started dancing at 8 years old, mainly ballroom, contemporary, lyrical, and jazz. However, her favorite genre was acro, because she loved learning new tricks and flips such as aerials and back walkovers! She moved to Waterloo in 2021 to study Health Science at UW, and found that it was really hard to meet people in a new city. She sought out Underdog and decided to try a chair and heels class, after 6 years of not dancing! Despite her anxieties, she met a welcoming community of like minded dancers. Victoria feels as though dance is a healthy way to manage her general and social anxiety, and helps keep her grounded. She acknowledges that heels can be intimidating at times, however, she encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone.
