PAA.If I were to describe my personality, I'm definitely a "Down to Earth" person. I'm laid back and easy going. I prefer to treat others the way I'd like to be treated. I've been dancing for many years. I started clogging at age 13 and it's been something that I love and have continued to do. I would consider it one of my favorite hobbies and am so glad I've been able to share my love of clogging with others. Come check out our new Pearisburg/Giles County Location. |
