Performing on stage requires nerves of steel and a bit of bravery, and at just 11 years old, hip-hop dancer Samantha Carbert already has both in spades. That could be because she’s already overcome her biggest fear before the age of two, undergoing open heart surgery.
You could say dancing is in Samantha’s blood, “I really like hip-hop. It’s fun, something to do,” she said. “Also it kind of can overcome your fear. Because like, you go to the recitals, you go to the competitions, and all of that. And it’s really fun!”
Being brave is something Samantha began doing at a very young age. Her mother Jenelle said Samantha was very sick as a baby.
“She was just a teeny tiny baby who was sick all the time. She spent the first couple years of her life in and out of doctor’s offices,” said Jenelle.
