Noelle is 9 years old and in 4th grade at a CICS school in Chicago. She started dancing as a baby in music class and took her first ballet class at age 3. We discovered EXDC when she was 5 years old, and she quickly moved from a tap/jazz combo class to the Petite Company within a few months! Noelle spent the last 3 years as a Petite, working on her technique, strength and musicality. Last year, she was a Petite/Too hybrid and also competed with her very first solo earning 3rd, 2nd and 1st place! This year, she has moved up fully to the Too’s Company and she is ecstatic about it.

To date, Noelle has been learning and growing in ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, contemporary and new for this year- ballroom. Also new for this year, she is part of the Kidz Movin’ Hip-hop Crew at EXDC! This is something she wanted to be a part of last year so it’s super exciting for her.

It’s truly incredible to see a child love anything as much as Noelle loves dance. We are inspired by her focus, skill, energy and passion. She would not be where she is today without all of the support from Miss Lizzie, Miss Jackie and the rest of the EXDC staff. She is grateful to have such amazing teachers and dance friends to encourage her.

When Noelle is not at the studio, she enjoys drawing, crafting, reading, playing outside, cooking/baking, spending time with her 3 little brothers and…. Dancing some more.

We are thrilled for another fabulous year with Extensions!
