Senior Zane Dasaro recently received a scholarship to a dance studio. He will be attending Studio 65, in Rocklin, to pursue his passion. Dasaro is excited about his achievement, albeit also nervous, as he has never danced for a studio before.

Although he is not enrolled in the class, Dasaro is a member of the Roseville High School dance team. Dasaro’s coach had noticed his talent and suggested her dance studio to him.

Studio 65 is run by Dasaro’s dance coach, Jeni Van Horn. According to Dasaro, she offered him a full ride scholarship, which many people felt was completely deserved, to her studio. Dasaro will be taking dance classes at the studiob for roughly 13 hours a week and performing in competitions while continuing to attend Studio 65.

Dasaro had attended a trial class at Studio 65 before receiving his scholarship.

“I took a class, like a free trial class, and they talked about it and they just offered it to me,” Dasaro said.

With this opportunity, Dasaro is now even closer to achieving and completing the set of goals he created for his future.

“I want to move to LA for dance,” Dasaro said. “Now that I have this opportunity. I’m just going to keep trying.”

Senior Trinity Plummer, who has danced with Dasaro, was not surprised upon learning about the scholarship he received.

“I’m honestly not surprised at all,” Plummer said. “I expect him to get a lot more scholarships, because of how talented he is.”

Dasaro has been enrolled in his dance class for four weeks now. The scholarship will last until the end August of 2018.
