“Dance and Hip Hop have been my constant saving graces.  Dance is the best way I can communicate.  Hip Hop is the language that my soul speaks. The marriage of the two on the dance floor is where I feel most “myself”.

In my recent exploration of expressive art therapy, I have discovered even more about dance and movement and its ability to heal. Before I even knew what this therapy was, I was already doing it, without even realizing it.  Spending countless hours alone in the studio in my own thoughts, I was expressing- through dance- what I cannot say in words.

The dance floor is my diary, my confessional, my haven.”
