Journey
Linda began her artistic journey in Chinese dance and ballet at the age of three. Over the years, she expanded her repertoire to include contemporary, jazz, hip hop, and ballroom, training at Dance Academy USA since fifth grade and competing since seventh. Simultaneously, she started gymnastics at age eight and began competing for Airborne Gymnastics' Xcel team in eighth grade. She finds joy in the discipline, strength, and resilience gymnastics instills, while dance offers her a powerful outlet for expression and finding her identity. Blending both passions, she choreographs floor routines for gymnasts at Airborne. Today, she trains ten hours a week in dance and eight hours a week in gymnastics.
