WE HAVE A VOICE, WE HAVE TO SPEAK FOR OUR ART FORM - is a repetition that greatly resonates with my work at Nova Dance - I am grateful to be a small part of this collective of inspiring dancers who use their heart, soul, body, and voices to speak on the importance of their art form and how it relates to all of humanity.
