NDA was a place to not only show my choreography, but a place to build community. You set up the community to really explore every aspect of their artistic life. Through New Dance, I was able to perform, teach and travel. You made New Dance a safe place to be creative. Being part of the New Dance family allowed me to think beyond the boundaries of a dance studio. Thank you Karen for asking this question. Reminds me of a wonderful time in my life. Here’s to many more!
