| Sydney Snyder is a rising junior at LaGrange High School and a competitive dancer with the Royal Academy of Dance in LaGrange, Georgia. |
"I’ve been dancing since I was three, so it’s just always been part of my life. It’s the one place where I can forget about everything else—like school, grades, college stuff... all of it. When I’m dancing, I don’t feel all that pressure. I just feel like me. The studio is where I feel calm and happy, even if the day was hard. It’s kind of like a break from the world, and I don’t think I could ever give that up. I hope I’m still dancing when I’m old—even if it’s just in my kitchen with a cup of coffee."
