Artistic Statement:
You are restless. You never sit down. You need a babysitter…
That is how I ended up in dance. My parents needed someone to watch me for a couple hours during the day. Being the restless kid I was, what better babysitter was there than a good dance class.
Dance is more than just creating body movements and resenting them on stage to show your friends and family. It is a way of life. It brings hope to my life. In dance you can see progress both in your movements and the progression of the piece you are working on. It gives hope to those who feel lost or to people who have lost more than they care to share. It is their therapy. It shows them that good things do not always leave us. Dance is forever.
Dance shows us who we really are. We can move and create works that we didn’t even know we could conjure up. It gives a glimpse into your deepest thoughts and feelings that perhaps you didn’t even know you had. By showing these raw feelings it can help relieve tensions you are having with yourself. It quiets down all the negative opinions you have, but also brings forth a stern voice telling you to keep pushing on and always better yourself to benefit your wellbeing and others around you.
I am restless. I am creative. I am a dancer.
