ADTC Team-Player – Meet Julia M. from IL!
“My ADTC Superpower is the team player. I am aspiring to embody this persona because I always want to be there for anyone that needs it and I want to bring everyone together.
I love to dance because it lets me be free. I can turn on any type of music and just start dancing. When I’m feeling stressed or I need a break, I just dance and it calms me down. I also love to perform on a stage and I get to do that every year through dance.
A difficult situation in my life was when I did not become captain of my dance team in middle school. I was very sad about it, but I got through it by being a leader anyway. Even though I wasn’t captain, the team could still come to me with anything. I learned that you can be a leader in many different ways.
I want to inspire other girls to always try their hardest & to learn that if you put your mind to something, you will accomplish it.”
