This conference was one of the warmest, engagingly remarkable, educationally enlightening, and fantastically organized conferences that I have ever had the pleasure to participate in. We're all based in New York City, but the faculty really bonded on this trip, which helped us draw connections between all the styles we were presenting (Dunham-Informed Jazz, Frank Hatchett, JoJo Smith, Simonson Technique) to the incredible dance students and their teachers. It was TRULY an AMAZING experience, and I will never forget it.
Thank you, Meche, for having me! I had a blast!
