Hi everyone! My name is Sadie, and I’m from New York City. I will be joining a junior ballet company in Pau, France, for my gap year. I hope to immerse myself in the French language, explore the city, meet new friends, and ultimately gain professional dance experience. I hope to get a dance company contract in the future, so having this gap year was critical. I am excited to bring you all with me on this journey of self-discovery and exploration.
