MY STORY.

Francesca was born with a Hearing Impairment identified as, Lateral Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome, where she grew up being very limited to the activities that she was able to participate in. Dance has been her outlet from the moment she could walk. It wasn’t until she was a freshman in high school when she found her love for telling stories through movement. It has been her way of communicating with the audience. Her hearing loss has motivated her to become the best version that she can be not just for herself, but for others too. Each movement is connected to an element of the story. Dance has pushed her beyond measures to view different ranges in movement qualities, musicality, and body awareness.

Down below is her segment on 13 Wham News from August 2020 where they shared her story and accomplishments during an uncertain time. Your encourage to take a few minute to watch her story and learn more about how she has become the dancer she is today.
