Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
I started dancing late.
2.
I auditioned for performing arts school after only 1 year of dance training...I got in.
3.
I went to college for dance, great for the mind, not great for dance career.
4.
I went to NYC...lacked confidence to hit dance scene full on...waited tables and got lost for a bit.
5.
Moved to LA...got lost some more...worked @ theater company where I choreographed plays.
6.
Ah ha moment: "choreography comes so naturally to me."
7.
Started "Hysterica dance co." Worked for years making original work and honing skills.
8.
10 years later, timing, talent and preparation come together to create a career making choreography.
