My voice says move... and when I move from the inside out I hear my inner voice... this voice helps me to be open, to learn, to grow, and to heal... that voice helps me to share my gifts with the world... I love that feeling, that space, that time... it's my light and my peace.

Yes, of course, I value technique, however, when I watch dance I don't look for the best technical dancers but the dancer who really communicates and when they also have great technique... it's a beauty!  Really, I look for people who dance; want to dance... folks who want to move... to share their emotions and special gifts to educate using their voice in all ways.
