There's nothing better than the feeling you get in a place full of energy that's almost electric. The kind of energy that feeds the soul and has the ability to inspire and heal. That's why I dance. It's amazing to be a part of the giving and receiving between an audience and the performers as well as between the performers. It's exciting to have the ability to radiate an energy through movement so powerful it can reach down deep inside someone's soul, and they will feel something, or maybe gain courage, hope, or inspiration. For me, that's the ultimate high. To dance is the ultimate mind-body-spirit connection. Dancing is always about being in the moment and that's where I can truly live fully and freely be myself completely. I love to passionately express my thoughts, emotions, feelings; my deepest fears and joys through movement. To say things I don't always have the courage to do so with words. And most of all, to escape and become one with the music and bring it alive visually.
