DANIELLE GOULD: Ballerina’s Warm Memories of SFD Past

Each Spring I would look forward to attending Surrey Festival of Dance.  I loved to dance and compete as well as watch my friends perform.  Many of the dancers I still keep in touch with today and I follow their professional careers.   A favourite memory of mine from my final year at Surrey was to be chosen to represent Surrey Festival of Dance at the BC Festival of the Performing Arts in Kamloops BC.  I had never attended provincials before and I was honoured to win the Senior Ballet category and was very thankful for the scholarship money that helped me to reach my goal of dancing professionally in Europe.  The education, wonderful masterclasses and the performance opportunity’s always with my family in the audience supporting me, has made for many beautiful memories.
