For our new DWC Ambassador Caroline Shmidt, the Seattle dance community has always been something that is special to her. Luckily, we got the opportunity to speak with her about it to see how it affected her dance journey! Read on to learn more about Caroline’s dancing journey and why she decided to become an Ambassador!
Caroline started dancing when she was around age two or three beginning in creative movement classes. When she got to middle school, she decided that it was time to try ballet and she instantly fell in love with it. Caroline danced for many years at ARC School of Ballet in Seattle and got to do a little bit of every style of dance throughout her journey. After high school, Caroline knew that she wanted to continue dancing, so she attended Western Washington University and got her BFA in Dance and BS in Kinesiology. Caroline currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri getting her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She shares that she hopes to keep dance in her life and work with dancers when she becomes a physical therapist.
When asked what inspired her to become a DWC Ambassador, Caroline shares that she loves seeing the Seattle dance community grow. Growing up a Seattle native, she loved seeing the community and resources of the dance world here and hopes that she can be a greater part of the community when she returns. She also loved the fact that she could find people that love dance just as much as she does and be able to shares resources with those same dancers.
Caroline shares that she will be in Seattle for the next couple of months for her clinical rotations and will be taking as many open classes as she can! She currently goes to Westlake Dance Center for classes and is planning on attending some workshops in the near future!
