My dance family has been supporting me since a very young age. They include all my dance friends, my teachers, dance partners, mentors and so many more. In particular, the community in Vancouver has been very crucial to my understanding of what community means. It has become even clearer throughout this pandemic. The dance community has come together in a way I always believed was possible. Seeing everyone come together has lifted my spirits and hopes, not just for dance, but for all of us in general.
