I dance to ground myself; to find balance; to remind myself of joy and happiness in the smaller moments of life. I am either inspired by so much that, at times, it is overwhelming or so little that it is underwhelming. And yet, I find solace in that because it is just another presence of grounding, balance, and joy that dance provides me. I strive to continue learning and growing throughout my exploration of dance. I like to find the cross-sections of playfulness and seriousness. I like to incorporate social movements into my work because I believe dance, at the end of the day, is a form of communication that all can partake in.
