“When I do a sport, I do it because I love it.”

Theresa Unsulangi

“I do ballet and the dance they teach at Dougherty. I started dancing when I was 4 but I had to quit in fourth grade because I was going to do pointe and my sister told me it wasn’t going to be good for my knees or my feet. So, I had to stop, but I still loved dancing. I’m not allowed to dance at home or take classes, so I dance for fun at Dougherty during breaks. Dance is the one sport that, no matter who you are, if you work really hard and practice, you’re going to get better. When I do a sport, I do it because I love it. Since I started dancing at such a young age and my sister was a dancer, I really wanted to dance as well. Most recently, I made a dance video for my friend. I usually take my inspiration from Latin dance and come up with choreography for songs that my friends suggest.”
