I've had the opportunity to learn all kinds of dances from around the world as well as travel and represent the united states at international festivals. Because of that I've met people from a plethora of countries and have been able to learn more about their cultures. Below are videos of just a few of the dances, people, and things I've been able to learn in the last five years as I minored in cultural dance and traveled internationally representing the USA.

While at Brigham Young University, I learned to clog, a truly American folk dancing style. Above is a girls precision clogging number that we performed, representing American Clogging.

Hitting the road to Spain with my new folk dance team, I got to meet so many people from different countries and even try on some of their authentic costumes!

While in spain I had several opportuniities to dance with people from other countries and learn their dances directly from them. (Above and Right)

Having learned a Bulgarian song and dance on my univerisity international dance team, I was able to sing along with some actual Bulgarians and surprise them! They didn't speak English either so it was a great way to connect. (Left)
