Lucy Embry
Age: 17
Academic School: Central Bucks High School East, Class of 2024
Aspiring Career: Orthopedic Surgeon
I grew up dancing at my grandmother's local dance studio and this fall season will be my 15th year dancing. Majority of my free time is spent in the studio, but outside of dance I love hanging out with my friends, spending time outside (specifically on boats and near water) and go to concerts and festivals.
I love dance because it is an outlet. A way to express any and all emotions and let the mind run free. You can be creative or as structured as desired and it allows you to move and stay in tune with your body.
