Elena Cheek

I grew up in a small town in North Carolina which gave me close relationships with my family and friends; who are my constant supports in everything. My application would be incomplete without them because they have such a large impact on my life, shaping me into the creative person I am today.

I have been dancing ever since I was a little girl. I have been lucky enough to be apart of the Ann Freeman Dance Academy Elite competition team.Through dance I have discovered my passion, made lifelong friends, traveled with my team, and most importantly dance have allowed me to discover myself.

I am very lucky to live in close proximity to many beautiful mountains. I take advantage of the nature surrounding me by going on regular hikes with family and friends.

My parents are pianists so naturally I have grown up in a very musical household. Ever since I was little I have been attending classical music concerts and playing the cello and piano.
