As we celebrate KCET's 50th anniversary, we are visiting your community to ask you, what makes you love California and how we can envision a better future for all. The following was recorded at the Burbank Ice Rink, December 2014. For more and to participate in our next 50 years, join us at kcet.org/50.

"My name is Dominique and I am a teacher at an elementary school. I teach dance and I am also a performer. And I love performing for my community.

"I was originally born in New Jersey and I moved out here when I was one with my family. My dad wanted to be an actor, so he moved all of us out here and we've been here ever since.

"I'm very attached to Burbank.

"I feel like it's very important to give back and the way I do that is entertaining. Also since I'm a teacher I love to give back to the kids and share my gift with them."
