by Karli Moretti (SSD Elite Dancer )

 

This week we put our Spotlight on one of our senior elite dancers Karli Moretti. Karli has been with Shooting Stars for about 8 years, she is a hard working dancer and is an awesome team player. So this being her final year competing on stage with the elite team we wanted to ask her a few questions about her.

 

[SSD] – What you like about Shooting Stars

[Karli] – What I like about Shooting Stars is that it has always felt like home to me, the minute I walked in the door. Shooting Stars really is family and such a nice escape from school and everything else that’s going on my life.

[SSD] – Who inspires you

[Karli] – Someone that inspires me is Jazlyn. I love the challenge she brings to the studio and how unique her movements are. Her style of dance is very intriguing to watch and inspires me to try new things.

 

[SSD] – What do you do besides dance

[Karli] – My life besides dance would have to include bike rides, the beach,  outdoors, and things with my family. I love to go boating on the lake.

[SSD] – Do you have anyone you would like to thank

[Karli] – I would like to thank my parents for encouraging me and 100% supporting me throughout my entire dance career, Ms. Melissa for pushing me and believing in me.

Also Ms.Desiree for everything she has done to help me achieve my goal of making the Golden Girls. She definitely pushed me and never once acted like she had any doubt that I could make this team. She even helped me get my aerial ( something I never thought I could do in a million years) I’m so thankful for how many hours she put into molding me into a college team dancer.

 

[SSD] – What do you like about dance

[Karli] – I love how dance is such a healthy way to express yourself and you have so much fun while doing so. I also love being able to perform and make people want to get up dance with me.

 

[SSD] – What styles are you best at

[Karli] – I feel like I am best at Jazz/Lyrical

 

Shooting Stars would like to thank you Karli for taking time with us. We also thank you for giving us the opportunity to train you not only as a dancer but as a leader in life.
