You may not know it, but as you sat in Contemporary Civilization last semester, contemplating whether it would be Ferris or John Jay today, the petite, bright-eyed girl with amber hair sitting next to you had dance combinations, complicated cheer choreography, and song lyrics running through her head.
Danielle Carlacci, GS ’14, spent last semester acting as a swing in "Bring It On: The Musical" on Broadway.
In order to secure the role, she endured a myriad of auditions that ranged from an open call with hundreds of people to invited dancer auditions.
She admitted, “I was the only person who showed up with my mom. It was fantastic. I panicked. Everyone looked older than I was... there was a bunch of people from 'So You Think You Can Dance'---just intimidating."
