Aiko Aguilar
Secretary
Hello! My name is Aiko Aguilar and I’m a senior at Peninsula High! I have been a dancer for fourteen years and have competed for twelve of those years. I began my training at The Studio PV from age three until age ten and later continued my training at Rise Academy of Dance, where I have been dancing since I was eleven. I usually perform small hip hop our contemporary routines at the senior homes. Through dance and volunteering for the community, I’ve gained skills like organization, discipline, and leadership which i carry into my role in the YPC board. Being part of the YPC board really allows me to connect with others, give to the community, and bring joy to the seniors. I love being able to share the arts with a wider audience, especially those that may not have the chance to experience these live performances.
