I just love the artistic inspiration and the connections but I think for the audiences, it’s the bridging of the past ... of dance heritage, dance tradition, and then the creative ideas, the reinvention, the future ... that’s what you’re about ... bridging the past with the future. You reach deep into our hearts and lift our spirits.
