Dance is an anchor for me and has introduced me to amazing places and faces! Performing and bearing my soul on stage is second nature to me. Giving back through dance is also a passion of mine; I went on an exchange trip June of 2015 with “Movement Exchange” an amazing organization, which teaches dance to at risk youth in Panama.

Collaborations in the African American Dance Company are student choreography groups created by the artistic director, which are required to create a dance piece together. This piece is from the 2014/2015 performing year.
