It's a great privilege to, over the years, teach so many students of different nationalities, religions, cultures, traditions. I always get to learn so much, even though I'm the instructor. It gives me great joy that learning goes both ways in every class.
Sometimes we barely even have a mutual language other than the language of dance, the language of movement, joy, rhythm and art in community. I love providing a space and time every week where everything feels right, where we can leave the world behind, and our collective heartbreaks can find relief for at least that hour.
And there, we all smile in the same language.
If only the whole world could be a dance floor. I try to believe it can be, because people can be so breathtakingly good. It's in our nature to move together. I've seen it, first hand, countless times in my life as an artist.
I really believe that, as Josh Johnson says, "art can save your life."
