“Most dancers say that the stage is when and where they know that everything they've been doing is worth it. If you think about it in minutes then it doesn't seem worth it, but I feel like the stage experience in general—rehearsing there, creating a story, and everything about that—that's a very unquantifiable thing. That's why I continue. That's why all those artists continue. I think it's because the feeling of art is, in an economic sense, greater than everything else—it's almost infinite,” Michelle Si (12) said.

“I want to be the best person I can to people in terms of compassion and kindness. I’m not sure where it really comes from — I guess my identity, ever since I moved here, has been ‘the Canadian,’ so there’s always that stereotype where I have to be super nice to everyone and I have to apologize for everything.

“I look to music to kind of explain things about myself that I can’t explain with thoughts or words, just these kind of questions that I have about life.
