We would like to extend another BIG congratulations to Addison Blankinship, who has also been awarded a Marlie Dru Sullivan Dance Scholarship. Addison began dancing at the age of four and quickly discovered dance as a place where she could express herself and build confidence. What started as an outlet for a shy young girl grew into a defining part of her life. Through years of dedication, dance has taught her discipline, resilience, and the value of teamwork while also giving her a second family. Addison plans to attend the University of South Carolina and will be a member of the Coquette Dance Team, a student-led collegiate dance team, where she will continue her passion at the next level. Addison is committed to inspiring others and creating a positive, encouraging environment both on and off the stage. Congratulations, Addison! π¦ππ¦
