Lucy
Lucy is 11 years old and started dancing when she was 5. She is a proud member of Dance Connection dance studio and the Dance Connection PAC dance team in Indianapolis. While Lucy participates in all styles of dance, Tap has stolen the show and her heart. When you ask Lucy "Why Tap?", one reason she will share with you is she loves the music she can make with her feet. When she isn't dancing (which is not very often) she loves listening to all kinds of music, reading books, playing games, working on any kind of arts/crafts she can get her hands on and spending time with her family and friends.
