Cynthia Sherry’s passion for dancing has never faded, even when going through financial troubles. To help her meet rent and other necessities, Cynthia normally holds at least one job, if not more, which leaves little time to focus on dancing. She joined a ballet company on campus called Vole and dances in her spare time in empty rooms she finds in the White Building. No matter what happens in her personal life, dancing has always and will always continue to be an escape for her.
