“The audition really consisted of learning some pretty

simple routines. What they (talent scouts) wanted to see was

how much personality you could put into it,” Simcheck said.

She has been studying dance for nearly 15 years at both the

American Dance Academy in South Lyon and the Academy

of RussianClassical Ballet inNovi.

In addition to working at the salon with her mom,

Simcheck taught dance classes in both Northville and South

Lyon. One of the most difficult parts of her move was giving

up her students who range from 2 ½ to adults learning

Zumba.

Her family is very supportive of her move, including sis-

ters, Valerie, 16 andVanessa, 12.

She said that Valerie has already announced her intent to

follow in her big sister's footsteps as she is also an avid dance

student and interested in an entertainment career. Vanessa

also takes dance lessons, but Simcheck said it's too early for

her to decide just yet.

“It's bittersweet,” Jessie Simcheck said. “Victoria has been

home schooled, like all my girls, and has worked here with

me in the salon, so we're very close. But she's been raised to

be independent and strong and we know she'll be fine. She's

somature and self-sufficient, and this is her dream.”

Simcheck said that she is excited about the job. She will

complete her training and will be on the schedule, working

in the park, by next week, shehopes.

“I can't wait. I just hope I can inspire lots of little girls to reach for their dreams, I like I did. And, here I am,” she said.
