Why do you dance? It’s a question that seems simple, but the answer can be vast, layered, and deeply personal. Have you ever stopped to reflect on why you dance? The reasons behind our passion for dance evolve with time and experience. Perhaps the answer has changed over the years, shaped by the ups and downs of life. Maybe your answer reflects where you are in your career, your age, or the current circumstances surrounding your life. Maybe you’ve had multiple answers over time, or perhaps, there was a moment when you couldn’t quite put it into words at all. Dance, after all, can transcend sim ..read more

What do you do when you see students go “half-at” things; particularly dancers with talent and facility? I often sit back and think to myself, did I ever give off this kind of blasé attitude when I was training? No. I didn’t. 100%, without a doubt, no. I wouldn’t have even thought of it.
