Teen Takes with Riley & Mia – Featuring Lucy (El Diablo Media Network)
In this episode of Teen Takes, hosts Riley Harms and Mia Carozza welcome Lucy, a senior at DHS, competitive dancer, and student body executive co-president. She shares what it’s like juggling the biggest leadership role in student council—overseeing every school event from dances to parades—while also committing countless hours to competitive dance.
Main topics covered include:
-
Lucy’s responsibilities as student body executive co-president, from running events to navigating city permits for the homecoming parade.
-
The intense schedule of a competitive dancer, including 29-hour choreography weekends with L.A. choreographers and the unfair school absence rules that affect her GPA.
-
Behind-the-scenes details on homecoming week 2025—the parade, Macho Man, Powderpuff, royalty, and all the planning that makes it happen.
-
The challenges of balancing school, leadership, and dance while also working as a lifeguard over the summer.
-
A wild story about being called “mama” by a pool regular, and the time she accidentally got scammed out of her homecoming dress money by a fake website.
The episode wraps up with plenty of laughs, candy parade plans, and Lucy proving that being a senior doesn’t always come with the “special treatment” everyone expects.
