I never thought I would find a hobby that I can consider my air in life. I will be attending High Point University, studying health and science to work on my physical therapy degree, so I can learn more about our bodies as a dancer. I hope one day I will return back to the veritas company and see how much they have excelled.

I am interested in music and generally most of the arts. This includes violin, painting, flute, writing, and pottery. There are numerous reasons why I value dance. One example, is how much it has taught me and improved my skills, not just in class but also in day to day life. It has taught me memorization skills, discipline, and so much more. Finally, I was accepted into AAB and I will be attending it this summer which I am quite excited for. A goal of mine was to get into a summer intensive which I am thrilled to have accomplished.

Hi! My name is Gianna ‘Gigi’ Ranalli. I have been apart of Vtas for the past 2 years. My main hobby is dancing. I enjoy dance because it is fun, but is also challenging. My goal is to dance through the end of high school and see where dance takes me after that

Kate Woods is twelve years old and has been dancing for eight years. This is her second year as a member of the Junior Veritas Company and her favorite style of dance is modern dance. Her favorite thing about Dream Studio is the community made of teachers and dancers alike.

Gigi has grown up at Dream Studio. When she was three, her tutus were enormous and her choreography was unpredictable. Now, she studies ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop and aerial silks. Veritas is special because it gives her a chance to be part of something bigger than herself, whether that be a dance, a feeling, or a message to the audience. Gigi is a visual artist at heart, and she plans to become a professional illustrator. Her dance training gives her a strong foundation for figure drawing, especially when she's trying to capture figures in motion
