I’m really excited for the third season to begin. My character’s transition and growth and development from season two to season three is pretty big. I’m pretty excited to see how the fans will react to that.

In season three, she’s finally part of the family. Everybody has bonded so much that relationships, friendships all start to grow and she gets a bit more involved with the drama and with the dancing. She just grows a lot in terms of her story line
—Taveeta Szymanowicz during an interview for The Next Step
As I grew up, my dancing matured. It was really a way for me to express myself and was a way for me to create and to be creative in terms of movement and making shapes with my body and making these beautiful pictures on the stage or in the studio. I just fell in love with it. It drew me into the arts.
—Taveeta Szymanowicz during an interview for The Next Step
