Get On Without It
I’ve been dancing since I was 4. So at 22, that means I’ve been dancing for 18 years. You could say I’ve grown up through, and with dance. It is every bit a part of me as the color of my eyes and how tall I’m not. I’ve learned a lot of lessons through my…

Let’s Dance.

My body ached, my feet literally bled and bruised, my head was full of notes and patterns, and I was having constant internal existential crises. After one…

Take It Light
So, in an unfortunate turn of events I lost my wallet while I was out the other night. I lost everything. My drivers license, my credit card, my debit card, my insurance card, a handful of gift cards and some cash. I also lost my house key and my student ID that I use daily….
