Why I Dance

Dancing is when and how I access feeling most alive and most free. Dance is the truest expression of myself.

I give time and space for artistic development in the medium I am compelled by and toward: dance.

The joy I feel when dancing is the most connection I feel: to everything, including my deepest self. My deepest self is also your deepest self, although you may access yours differently.

Likewise, dancing is how I connect to myself and therefore am open to connecting with other individuals, collectives of individuals, and ideas.

I strive to create and contribute to artistic environments and opportunities that are both safe and free so that I may grow as an individual, artist, and dancer.

Feeling safe and free at the same time is the best feeling in the entire world.

This is why I dance.
