Roya Behziz



Roya Behziz is graduating from Issaquah High School and will be attending University of California San Diego this fall, where she plans to study Human Biology and Economics on the Pre-Med track. Roya has danced at Inspire for the past eight years as a member of Elevate Dance Company.
Roya is incredibly intelligent and driven, and it has been so exciting to watch her passions evolve over the years. One of the most unique things about Roya’s journey is seeing how dance helped spark her interest in biomechanics and ultimately fueled her path toward medicine. Her curiosity, discipline, and desire to understand the body and movement on a deeper level have always set her apart, and we have been consistently impressed by both her academic ambition and her commitment to dance.
Throughout her years at Inspire, Roya has approached everything she does with determination. Dance has helped shape her not only as a performer, but also as a teammate, leader, and hardworking young woman. She has continually challenged herself to grow, balancing the demands of dance and academics with maturity far beyond her years.
Roya’s presence at Inspire has been such a gift over the last eight years. Watching her pursue her passions so intentionally has been inspiring to everyone around her, and we know she has an incredibly bright future ahead. Roya, we are so proud of everything you have accomplished, and cannot wait to see the impact you make in the world!
From Roya :
I have always loved dance, and through my passion for it, I have learned so much about myself. Dance taught me how to be a teammate, how to push myself, and the value of dedication and hard work.
Dance also led me to discover my interest in biomechanics and the strength required to move the way dancers do, which ultimately sparked my passion for medicine. Inspire has truly been the vessel through which I discovered so many of my passions, and I will always be grateful for everything this studio has given me.
Thank you for the memories, the support, and everything you have taught me over the years. My time at Inspire is something I will always cherish and greatly miss.
With love,
Roya
