Meet Nadirah Stewart: A Dancer's Journey to Her Dream

"I wake up at 5:30am and get home at 6:00pm, but I love every minute of it," says Nadirah Stewart, a 14-year-old freshman dance major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City. "Everybody's so nice and talented, there's no drama and no popular kids. We have no fear of expressing our art freely, passionately and often loudly," she continues with a huge smile. "Not only in the classroom, but also in the hallways and cafeteria. It's amazing!" An avid tennis player and linguist, studying Italian, Arabic and Spanish, Nadirah is also a contributor to the teen stories for Raine Magazine under the name Nadirah Jilaan.danceTo learn more about this extraordinary teen, check out the Hollywood and Glamour Issue of Raine Magazine.Adapted by Liz Belilovskaya
