Hera is a 9th grader at Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago and has been dancing since she was 3 years old. This is her first year at Extensions Dance and she is excited to grow under the mentorship of Lizzie Mackenzie and Taytana Mazur. She is looking forward to return to YAGP and UBC competitions this year with the Chicago City Classical Company and is so excited to perform her variations and contemporary solos this season. Hera has spent her summers at intensives with Annarella Dance Conservatory Portugal, Joffery Ballet, A&A Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
