Meet Logan
Logan Epstein
Logan's enthusiasm for dance started at age 3 when she sat through a three hour production of the "Nutcracker," from the beginning to end, not even leaving her seat during intermission. In retrospect, this was clearly the beginning of her dance career. She began dance classes shortly thereafter. Several years of recreational dancing followed, until we found the Westchester Dance Academy. This was the beginning of a love and passion for dance, competition and training far beyond any anticipated expectations. Training at Westchester Dance inspired Logan to achieve many titles and high scores regionally and nationally. She lives and breathes the art of dance on a daily basis. Her drive and determination has helped her to excel in workshop classes where she has won many convention scholarships in all forms of dance. Being at Westchester Dance Academy is her second home and family and there is no other place she would rather be. Logan is only fourteen years old and will be a freshman at Harrison High School.
