Dancers struggle with two things: walking and standing still. We are great at moving bodies through space in person. Our whole modality for teaching shifted in a matter of days, but we did it. Imagine what we will be able to do with technology working for us instead of against us?

No one was ready for the pandemic. America was definitely not for as advanced as we are as an intelligent society. Dancers lost a whole season. It was not on purpose. Competition owners are husbands and wives and sons and daughters. They are entrepreneurs that took a severe his like we all did. My heart goes out to the Class of 2020. You make a dent in the universe because you lived through this.

So many of our decisions are routine. It is human nature. Too often we do things because they have always been done and we don't really know why we do them. This time outside the studio has been beneficial to regroup, reevaluate and redirect our energy to be better than we were before.
