2019 Featured Dancer: Faith Gentry
How long have you been dancing?
I have been dancing ever since I was 3.
What is your favorite style/type of dance?
It’s a close call between jazz and contemporary, but I’ve never been able to choose one over the other.
What is your favorite song right now?
Right now, my favorite song is Right Back by Khalid.
Favorite thing to do besides dance?
I’ve always enjoyed making pottery. I enrolled in a ceramics class my sophomore year and have loved it ever since!
What do you keep in your dance bag?
I always keep the essentials: all my dance shoes, my pbt bag, some water and snacks, deodorant, and some extra ponytail holders.
What do you enjoy most about dance?
Dancing has always been a way for me to channel any of my emotions into movement. There’s something so relieving about dancing and I’m so thankful every day that I get the opportunity to!
What is your favorite thing about dancing at Rock City?
Rock City has always been a place I can come to and feel safe. Even on the days when I’m tired and have a lot of homework to do later, the dance community at Rock City has never failed to brighten my mood and make me feel better. The staff at the studio not only seeks to advance our abilities as dancers, but they also make an effort to help build our character and the kind of people we are becoming. To me, Rock City means family, and I know I will never forget that.
“ There’s really no other feeling you can compare to being on ” stage. I can’t remember a time I wasn’t excited to perform
on the stage and showcase the love I have for dancing.
