Name: Manya Zhu
Year: 2024
Major: Computer Science BSE
Hometown: Princeton, NJ
Dance Background: Manya started dancing ballet at the young age of 4, where she immediately fell in love with the art form. In reality, she probably liked the tutus and pointe shoes, but either way, she continued training for the next 14 years throughout high school. She trained at her home studio, Princeton Dance and Theater, and performed several shows (The Nutcracker, The Snow Queen, Sleeping Beauty, etc.) with PYB. She also learned some flamenco, modern, jazz and hip hop, but definitely considers herself as a total bun-head. She is also a member of BodyHype.
