This is Calista’s 2nd year as a petite company member and she loves her dance family so much! While Calista had taken a few dance classes at the park district over the years she had only committed to martial arts training in Muay Thai and boxing —but after passing extensions studio on the way to her MMA gym weekly she asked her parents to enroll her in the 2021 Petite summer intensive at Extensions and that was it! She decided to focus exclusively on dance and joined as a Petite Company member. She is so excited to have found friends who share her passion for creative movement at Extensions and her favorite dance classes are Ballet with Lizzie and Jazz with Jackie! When Calista is not dancing, some of her favorite things to do are: rollerskating with her mom, cuddling with her dad, watching anime with her big brother or she can be found deeply immersed in imagination games, playing dolls or adventuring on nature hikes with her friends & family. She is also team: all things sparkly! Calista is excited to perform again this year with the Petite company and continue to develop her dance skills & flexibility alongside her friends at Extensions who share her love for all things dance!
