You would never believe that Michelle Shvedov started her dance journey last year because she is flying! She did spend 10+ years of her life doing rhythmic gymnastics where she also learned dance, but it wasn't until this past October that she started taking studio dance classes regularly. Her gymnastics skills shine in contemporary class, and her ability to give 100% effort to everything she does has helped her grow in dance quickly. She's starting to get called out in small groups and solos and is enjoying every bit of it because she loves performing! She also loves ANIMALS and will be leaving LA in the fall to go to grad school to be a veterinarian. Could be Ohio, could be London... but wherever it is, she will find a way to keep dance a part of her life. Check out the full episode, and get to know Michelle while she's still in LA this summer!
