McMillan’s mom was a dancer when she was younger too.

“I think in a way that slightly influenced me towards dancing,” she said, “but I guess when I was younger, I was constantly dancing around the house and everything, and so my parents decided to start taking me to classes.”

Dancing is one of her favorite things to do, and it is what she does “day in, day out.” McMillan is “at the studio Monday through Saturday, constantly dancing.” She loves dancing and said, “it’s almost another way to outlet your emotions, your thoughts, your feelings.”

McMillan wants to keep dancing when she is older and hopes to get into a company. In the past she has done some training in New York and other places outside of her studio. She loved training with proper companies and conservatories in New York because,

“It’s really cool to see how they train.”
