Amber Romano
What are your aspirations in your art form and/or career aspirations?
My whole life I have dreamed of having a job performing with a professional ballet company. My desire is to have the opportunity to connect with audiences and captivate them through the art of dance.
What do you do for fun? Do you have any interesting or unusual hobbies?
If I were not a dancer, I would love to be a professional makeup artist. I also enjoy running, taking road trips, and watching old movies.
What is something unique about you that you would like people to know?
The most important aspect of my life is being a Christian. It is the reason why I dance, and it is my greatest joy to commit all I do to the Lord.
