What sparked your interest in dance?

Be sure to read the lastest addition to our Featured Dancer segment on my website:

www.suzannehawkinsballetworkshop.com. Our current dancer is Laura Jakowenko,

pictured here, who is a Radio City Rockette. As I read her story of how she started dancing, I began to wonder about other dancers - what sparked their interest in dance? how did they start and at what age? Did you always know you wanted to be a dancer? And ballet (of course, MY favorite!) . . . did you like it from the beginning or did you gradually learn to love it for all the benefits it holds?

We'd love to hear YOUR story . . .
