Hi! I'm Jewell Weatherford, a 15-year-old dancer from East Tennessee! I'm homeschooled, and dance has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started dancing at just 20 months old and have been competing since I was 5 years old! One of the things I love most about dance is that it's so much more than just performing on stage. It's the experiences, friendships, and opportunities that come along with it! Dance has taken me all across America, and I absolutely LOVE getting to explore new places, meet new people, and experience different styles of dance. I think there's something really special about connecting with people who share the same passion but bring their own unique style and personality to it. Outside of the studio, I'm definitely an adventure girl! I love snowboarding, scuba diving, traveling, and pretty much anything that gets me outdoors. I'm always excited to try something new, challenge myself, and make memories along the way! I believe some of the best experiences happen when you step outside your comfort zone. Whether it's learning a new style of dance, meeting someone new, or taking on a new adventure, I'm always looking for ways to grow. Life is all about the experiences, the people you meet, and the memories you make along the way-and I can't wait to see what's next!
