It [The Academy] was my home for such a long time and it will always be in my heart and I know that no matter where I dance…nothing will ever compare to what I have here.
I’m my best version of myself when I am here.
In here, you are not afraid to take a risk because you are with people who you know are not judging you.
It is so freeing to feel so comfortable somewhere.
