Ella is a Freshman at Francis W. Parker School in Chicago IL. This is her first year at Extensions and she is so happy to be here. Before joining EXD, she attended Gus Giordano Dance School and was in their youth company for 5 years. Ever since she started dancing at only 3 years old, she has grown a deep affection and passion for dance. She loves the way that it lets her express herself. Since being at Extensions, she has made so many memories and new lifelong friends. She is extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity. Additionally, she is especially grateful for Lizzie MacKenzie, for always pushing her to be the best she can be and believing in her. Thank you to all of the faculty at EXD for making her feel so welcomed and loved. When she isn’t dancing, she is usually hanging out with friends and family or traveling the world!
