GET TO KNOW MEREDITH
- Hometown: Potomac, Maryland
- Favorite role that you have danced: My favorite role that I’ve danced has been Cinderella. I was sixteen when I got to perform this at my home studio, and it was one of the most challenging yet the most fun role I have had the chance to do.
- If you weren’t dancing, what would you be doing? If I was not dancing, I would be attending college to earn my degree. I would love to go into a field that is still related to dance, but I am open to so many different things.
- Favorite TV show: Grey’s Anatomy
- Hobbies you enjoy outside of dance: I enjoy baking, and I also love to spend time with friends and family. I also love traveling and seeing new places.
- Favorite thing about Charlotte: I am excited for the warm weather in Charlotte, especially having come from Boston! Charlotte seems like a very fun city, and I am so excited to explore.
