Their generous vulnerability to allow audiences to see their unique voices felt inspiring to me, and I knew that this would become one of my biggest goals to achieve in my career.Īlthough, unfortunately, my confidence only seemed to dwindle more and more within the mirrored walls of the studios, where pressures of comparing myself to everyone grew to become suffocating. It had always felt instinctive to tell everyone that I adore this art form because it can be such an expressive emotional outlet- but ironically, it was so difficult for me to actually reveal my emotions! As I watched my peers, I was taken aback by the rich fullness and giving nature of their movement. I had concentrated so many years prior on refining my classical technique and visual presentation, but discovering that my performance quality was not entirely true to myself was definitely a jarring moment. ![]() In my first year of college, I was surprised to find out how little had been unlocked from within myself, in terms of my ability to express my spirit through dancing. Like many artists, it was difficult for me to feel fulfilled- but the fleeting moments where I brimmed with joy and exhilaration were more than enough for me to continue my growth, alongside pursuing an education in ecology and sustainability. My love of dance blossomed quickly when it first entered my life years later, and it was easy for me to dedicate so much of myself to training and performing. I believe that being born next to the sea has called me to the marine biosphere throughout my life its mysterious beauty, ethereal power, and almost supernatural magnificence have always pulled at my heart, even when I am far away from the coasts. My greatest states of happiness exist when I am immersed in it– swimming beneath the marbled surface of the ocean. I have always leaned closely into the natural world.
