Today we’d like to introduce you to Zara Silver
Hi Zara, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Zara Silver, and I am a dedicated dancer, model, and social media influencer. From a young age, movement and dance have been my true passions, offering me a unique way to express myself. Although I began my dance journey at 12, later than many who start as early as 3, I was determined to catch up quickly. I drew inspiration from dance competition shows, captivated by the stories of other dancers and their paths to becoming incredible performers. Their journeys gave me the courage to share my own story with aspiring young dancers.
My story is one of resilience and triumph. Adopted from a Russian orphanage at the age of 4, I was welcomed into a loving family in America. From my first days at home, I was doing cartwheels and jumps, prompting my parents to foresee a future for me in dance or cheerleading.
In the early days of my dance career, I taught myself many techniques before receiving formal training from a dance coach. This dedication led me to competitive dance and eventually to studying dance at a college in Los Angeles, CA.
Through my platform, I aim to advocate for young dancers who may fear rejection or doubt their abilities. I want to show them that anything is possible when you set your mind to it. My journey is proof that with perseverance and passion, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve your dreams.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey hasn’t been without its challenges. I’ve encountered numerous road bumps along the way. Choreography, in particular, can be a significant obstacle. During auditions, dancers are given only a few minutes to learn the choreography, which can be incredibly nerve-wracking. Despite these hurdles, my passion for dance keeps me motivated and driven to succeed.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a passionate dancer who specializes in acro, contemporary, and jazz-styled dance. My journey in dance has been a testament to dedication and hard work, which I love to share with my audience. I am best known for my viral social media videos, where I showcase a variety of tricks, provide tutorials, and post lifestyle content. These videos have allowed me to connect with a broad audience and inspire others with my love for dance.
One of my proudest achievements is getting into my top choice for college, where I am currently studying dance in Los Angeles, CA. This milestone represents the culmination of years of effort and perseverance, and it motivates me to continue pushing boundaries in my dance career.
What truly sets me apart from others is my exceptional flexibility and control. These qualities not only enhance my performances but also enable me to excel in the demanding styles of acro, contemporary, and jazz dance.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
One of my best childhood memories has to be when my friend and I performed a duet at nationals in 2019. We gave it our all, and it felt amazing when we ended up placing first. It was such a great moment for us and something I still look back on with a lot of pride.
