Since our interview, I watch more than I dance when I am in Chicago and I take in a whole lot more.

I hope this moment shares an eye-opening perspective for any reader. Enjoy the interview!

A three hour drive to DC changed my life last weekend. I had a chance to connect with some true legends, work on some ideas to change my dance and put my feet to work. It was a great time and I won’t forget it.
