SPOTLIGHT DANCER
 
Nellie Trujillo
 
15 YEARS OLD
MAY 2025
What school do you attend? 
Heritage Peak Charter School
 
What grade are you in? 
9th Grade
 
What are your favorite things about school?
I like to read!
 
How long have you been dancing at Dixon Dance Studio? 
10 years
 
What made you want to start dancing? 
My mom put me in classes when I was really little and I loved it ever since!
 
What is your favorite dance memory?
My favorite dance memory is when we went and danced at the retirement homes. 
Who are your dance friends and what do you like about them? 
I have too many dance friends to put on a list but I love everyone at DDS!
 
What are your future dreams, goals, aspirations? 
In the future I would like to be a hairstylist.
 
What advice would you give to your fellow dancers about life/dance? 
With school I’d say being organized helps a lot with turning in work on time and knowing what you have next. Another thing that helps but with dance is too not compare yourself to other people and thinking there better cause it will only bring you down.
Teacher's note: 
Nellie is such a dedicated and hard working dancer! I enjoy having the opportunity to teach her weekly and help with her dance journey. Watching her growth over the years has been an absolute privilege and we are so fortunate to have her as a piece of our Dixon Dance Studio family. Keep up all of your hard work! Congratulations on being this month's spotlight dancer!
