Artistic Statement

As a dance artist, I believe in the correlation of human perceptions and emotions guided by the relationship of the body to space. My inspiration stems from the way we live, the way we move, the way we feel, the way we communicate as dancers, as human beings and as a community at large. I dance to put meaning, grace, motivation and hope into a life that is concrete. The beauty of dance, I believe, lies in its ability to amaze the audience with the exhilarating possibilities of movement while at the same time providing a visual conversation for the viewer to interact on a personal level. One of the things that inspires me most as an artist is how I want to live with intent. I want to make an influence on my community and the lives of others. Dancing provides a bonding outlet that encourages a person's emotional, cognitive and physical integration. I want to leave a legacy behind. I want to live a life of such achievement, not in material stuff, but by creating a safe haven for others.
