I discuss what it really means to be a choreographer- from lessons I’ve learned along the way to that defining moment when your work is premiered onstage.

I had to sacrifice a lot to pursue my dreams.

Based on the movement initiated in Lesson 4 and developed with dancers in the studio, I present the final choreography onstage.
