==Biography== | |||
Charlize visited a private school at the beginning, but due the schedule burdens of her dance career she switched partially to homeschooling and never liked it. She stated the working effort and self-discipline to keep on track to the end of the semester was unpleasant for her. Her grades in actual school were much better and it was harder to keep in contact to her school friends. She graduated in 2020 high school.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBtCqLAMio/ Charlize's IG School graduation]</ref> | |||
Her parents live separated and she lived predominantly with her mom and has permanent and good relationship with her father. She got her black lion's mane - her thick curly hair - she was famous for and was giving her that charismatic look by him. She described her mom as her biggest inspiration and gives her a lot of credit, because she was taking good care of her, despite her own extensive working time. She spends a lot of time with her friends as well, including her four and counting cats. She is obsessed with cats. | |||
Although Charlize is a fierce monster on stage, is used to stand in front of the crowd, her strong appearance and that she is a cool, eloquent and strait forward shooter in interviews, in private she was quite the opposite. She has/had some phobias and didn't feel comfortable surrounded by people she didn't know. She appreciates her privacy and wants to retreat from public after the show. One of her favorite moments with Maddie, she was running away with [[Maddie Ziegler]] at a convention from Maddie's fans, who were rushing to them. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usxqYrIn46U Sean Lew and Charlize Glass Q&A | More Than Dance]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zSlOroon3k Pacific Rim Video interviews Charlize Glass of 8 Flavahz at their workshop held at Boogiezone Utopia]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06cCDJ9s-mU CHARLIZE GLASS INTERVIEW | Showstopper 60]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tkOxjHueXw Exclusive Interview With Charlize Glass | Cover Shoot | Dance Spirit]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-oO0i2QOnE Charlize Glass from 8 Flavahz Interview at World of Dance San Diego]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BlIJRpaJIw q&a!!

Charlize is trained in a various style of dancing - jazz, funk, ballet, contemporary and her strongest suit hip-hop. DanceSpirit wrote: ''"On a scale of one to Beyoncé, 13-year-old Charlize Glass is pretty darn Beyoncé. Watching Charlize dance is like flipping through a series of perfect snapshots—each isolation of her body is that precise and finessed."'' She is famous for her speedy fierce power style. She puts a lot of power in the accents with a brutal stop movement by her strong athletic body. This girl knows about Kung Fu. Her motions are sometimes so fast that 24 frames per second are not enough to catch her movements. <ref>[https://youtu.be/WkhK2XJLJis?t=194 JONAS BROTHERS - Sucker | Kyle Hanagami Choreography]</ref> And no need to explain what it means when her mentor the one and only Brian Friedman after all these years suddenly [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpjnpNXvxI8 throw his shoes]. She can flip her back backwards like a [[Kaycee Rice]] or a Sofie Dossi and is very versatile in ballet.

Char Char is not the most flexible contemporary dancer. However, her speedy power hip-hop style slays everything and everyone in the clubs around the world and attracts a special type of client. Her artistic choice shows that she a great soul dancer. Match-up with [[Julian DeGuzman]] formed a duet with simular dance skills and Julian is a great choreographer as well. They are continuing to collaborate after NBC's World of Dance. | |||
