April: What are you plans for this summer both in relation to your dancing and personally?
As my first season as a professional dancer comes to a close, I can only reflect at how much I have grown personally and artistically. I have been challenged to push myself even more. I have learned how to fuel myself according to the demand of what I am working on, after all our energy comes from food. I have learned how to soak everything in and the importance of paying attention to detail. But the most important thing I have learned is how to work smart and be patient with myself. Overall I feel that I have had a very successful year and can’t wait to see what next season has in store for me.

This year my summer starts on May 1st, and boy am I excited for it. I will be taking some much needed recovery and rest time for my body. As many of you know, I will be returning to Texas to teach a series of master classes and spend time with my family. As well as doing some guest artist work. Then the company will begin rehearsing for our summer Chautauqua season in June, and I will be in Chautauqua, New York for a month. Following that I will be teaching at 3 different summer intensives. The grand finale of my summer, is just taking time to myself for relaxation and pure enjoyment of the summer weather before I go into hiding inside of a dance studio again.
I hope all of you have had an incredible school year! A special congratulations and shout out goes to the class of 2016. I wish you all great success in where the next step in life is for you. Have a wonderful and safe summer!
