MORE ABOUT ME: I was accepted at UGA in 2008 and originally played rugby here at the school.  As much as I loved and still love the sport, a few injuries convinced me to seek a more health insurance friendly passion.  I took a semester of dance on campus and really enjoyed it.  I was told to try out for BPG, and within the group I discovered how challenging and rewarding dance could be.  Although very different from my previous vocation, I look forward to putting on my dance shoes just as much as I did my Rugby Cleats.
