DC: Is dance still part of your life?

DC: What is special about Dance Connection?

LR: I met some of my forever friends at Dance Connection and without Dance Connection I would not be as successful in the dance and theater world as I am today.

DC: What is something dance has taught you that you can apply to your life?

LR: You don’t need to be perfect every day. You just need to push to be 1% better.

DC: What’s your favorite memory at the studio? Do you have a favorite dance you were part of?

LR: My favorite memory at the studio was at Access Broadway when I got to compete in “Uptown Funk” and all of us nailed the triple pirouette in tap shoes. My favorite dance was my contemporary dance my senior year, “Found Tonight”. I still listen to that song and get filled with joy and nostalgia.

DC: Any advice for someone younger or someone who is just starting on their dance journey?

LR: Dance because you love it and because it makes you feel alive!
