Q: What has dance taught you that you have applied to your everyday life and how you engage in the world?

It is a lot of hard work and discipline. I would say that that is something I have taken into real life outside of work. I try to continue to be hardworking and diligent about my work but I also try to balance that with personal life things as well. It has also taught me a great sense of gratitude. Sometimes you take for granted what you are doing especially from doing 8 shows a week sometimes I am so tired I feel like I can’t push through but during this time I have been reflecting on how grateful I am to be a part of the community that is putting art out into the world. I think art is necessary and often not appreciated.
