Grad: Lauren Germann When did you start dancing? “I started dancing when I was 3 years old” What is your favorite SHIFT memory? “It’s hard to choose, I have so many. One has to be going to Disneyland a couple of years ago. It was so fun, everyone sprinting to each ride together and dancing in the parade. There’s also of course this year at our last dance competition when we came off from hip hop, and walking out from backstage to seeing practically all of SHIFT there supporting us. I have never felt so loved and so grateful to be apart of the SHIFT community.” What are you doing next year? “Next year, I will be going to McMaster University to study nursing to hopefully become a pediatric nurse, and I’m hoping to join the dance team.” We are so proud of you Lauren! We will miss you lots 💛
