(November 15, 2012) -- Junior Nooneh Khachatourian has been dancing
ballet since she was three years old. An avid dancer and performer,
Khachatourian has been dancing at Djanbazian Dance Academy for 13
years. "I mostly do ballet, but sometimes I do Modern and Armenian,"
Khachatourian said. "Dance has really helped me become more flexible,"
Khachatourian said. "And since we perform a lot, it has helped me
get over my stage fright."
Since Khachatourian's mom had always wanted to become a dancer when
she was younger, Khachatourian took after her mom and was encouraged
to dance. "When she got older and had a kid she wanted to put her kid
into dance, so she put me into one of her friend's dance classes,"
Khachatourian said.
When asked about ever quitting, Khachatourian admitted that she has
difficulty balancing school and dance. "I do think about quitting
because of school, but I love it too much to give it up," Khachatourian
said. "Maybe if I go to college and move away, then I'll have to
stop, but I feel like I've done it for so many years that I don't
want to stop."
