High school senior Tenaya Cowsill has been dancing since she was three. In recent years she has been studying ballet and modern more intensively and creating her own choreography. She will start at UCSB as a dance major next year. “It’s really cool because you have the guidance and input of the directors,” she said. “But it’s also very independent because you have to do everything on your own. I know my choreography has come a long way. Last year I learned about a lot of the technical stuff; this year I’m practicing the skills I’ve learned.”
