“Whenever I need some time to let go or to show people how I’m feeling, I create a dance where I can express all my feelings at once.”
Dance has gotten me through so many different things in life. It helps me express how I’m feeling and makes me feel more confident about myself. Whenever I need some time to let go or to show people how I’m feeling, I create a dance where I can express all my feelings at once.
I want people to be able to see that everyone is different. All of us dancers have a different style or way of dance that we like to express ourselves with. I want people to know that it is okay to be yourself and not to care what others think of you, and I would say that dance can really help show that and can help people find themselves, and let people be more confident about themselves!
