What is the best thing about being back in person? Was there anything that surprised you about being back in the studio?
The best thing about being back in person is the ability to connect with others through movement and be free from the constrictions of being locked up in the house physically and mentally. I believe the thing that surprised me most about being in the studio is how many talented and unique dancers at LACHSA that pushed me to grow leaps and bounds in such a short portion of time.
What is your favorite thing about LACHSA right now?
