I have never felt so welcomed, so open and so fed. The ladies I had the honor of sharing the pro-track with were nothing short of amazing. Big thanks to our teachers and mentors for providing a safe place to learn and grow as dancers and as human beings. The inspiration they provided both on and off the stage is something I’ll carry with me forever. And finally, THANK YOU to Tori Halfon and Yaniv Halfon because without you, there would be no Massive. You truly are providing means to help push this art form forward and bring dancers together in ways that would never be possible elsewhere. I love you all and am eagerly awaiting the sign up for next year’s MASSIVE!
