Favorite Moment at the Department of Dance
I don't think I can choose a single favorite moment from my time here. The UW dance department has been such a profound part of my life for the past four years; I have learned so much about dance and life and myself and the world, I have grown as a dancer and creator and human, I have cried in most places in Meany, and I have met so many people who I love so much.
