Three takeaways I have gained from being in such a beautiful industry are Comfort, Community, and Purpose. I decided to make those my overall theme for this platform. 

I have realized how dance is my comfort zone but it also encourages me to work out of that comfort zone as well to see what I can learn and create along the way. I have made so many friends in this community and continue to. I have had many opportunities for outreach in the arts and I have networked with people who are involved in various parts of the industry. This community is so important to me and should be to all of us, because we become each-other’s support group; no matter the distance. Lastly, I want to focus on purpose. Why do I dance? Why do you dance? It is question that I think I have answered but I know I am still on my journey to discovering my purpose in life and my talents in dance. I discover purposes in my choices of movement and understand that I have an overall purpose of living a life to fulfill God’s plan for me with the talents he has given me. 

I aspire to use these talents to impact and help others in this industry or even out of the industry as well. I hope that as this grows I am able to impact others around the country and eventually around the globe.
