Oh, your hands to each other.
Yep.
Switch this year with dance works.
I'm planning to work on a hip hop piece, so I'm combining my hip hop piece with a pop and leg situation, and I'm trying a lot of different styles that we actually haven't tried before.
And dance works in a lot of formations and sort of blending that in with my dancers.
What I'm trying to put is just a collection of different little stories that help people to understand that, you know, these are certain life circumstances and sometimes you just can't avoid them.
You have to face them.
So I started dancing when I was about two years old.
To me, I think dance is something that helps me embody a sense of emotion, express myself.
I feel free when I dance which is why I have been dancing for so many years, and I feel like you have no boundaries when you start dancing, you know, the possibilities are endless.
So you know, for the past nine years, I had training in different styles of dancing.
It's almost like I got to learn another part of myself, which is very interesting to me.
And then, you know, being able to perform and give back to the community what I learned, which is even more exciting.
