Van Wie's coach is Courtney Hester. She has been dancing since she was 7 years old and what she likes most about the sport has to be "we are always together and we are one big happy family and I don’t know what I would do without everyone! I also love to dance to express myself."

"I would like to thank my parents and my sister for always supporting through the years. I would also like to thank my dance team coach Courtney who started out as my dance teacher and who has helped mold me into the dancer I am today.
