Wellington High School junior Gabby Stout has spent the last 11 years studying dance in studio. Seven of those years she has competed in competitive dance and she is a member of the Wellington High School dance team since she was a freshman.
“I enjoy the happiness it brings me and the way I’m able to create choreography. I am also able to connect with new people who have the same passion as me in a fun way,” said Stout.
Stout has spent countless hours working on her craft over the years. “I practice a lot. For my studio I take class four hours a week, I teach for three hours a week, plus the time it takes to choreograph and prepare classes, and I practice for my high school team three hours a week,” said Stout.
Combine that with her responsibilities in the classroom, Stout has little time for anything else. “I have always held my grades and school work as a high priority. I try to be very responsible and dedicated to my school commitments by taking college classes, being involved in NHS, SCCDAT, and Leadership,” said Stout.
Her future plans include college where she plans to study psychology and continue dancing.
