June 2003 - Joshua McLamb

Home: Sanford, FL, USA
Age: 14 years old
Years Dancing: 5 years
Specialties: Tap

I am 13 years old and began dancing because my sister had always danced, she is 6 years older than I, and I always was at the dance studio. I saw how fun all the dancers were having and I wanted to have that type of fun,too. I soon began dancing at age 8, in a tap class, that tap class soon turned into jazz classes, hip hop and ballet. I am in the pre-IB classes on the honor roll at Sanford Middle School where I sit first chair in Adv. and Jazz band playing the Alto sax.

This last year after 3 tries I became Florida's Dance Master's Rising Star and I auditioned for the Ballet Guild of Sanford-Seminole. I credit my dance Instructors: Miriam Doktor, Valerie Weld and Thom Lake for my inspiration and continued dance growth.
