MONTHLY NEWSLETTER: MAY 2022
From Montana to Motore, you MAY love these updates!
From our recent adventures in the land of Big Sky to rehearsals on the beautiful stage at BMCC and watching our Wayne State Dance Italia alumni perform in NYC, April has felt like a whirlwind! We've been busy preparing for our first performances of ‘A, My Name Is…’ since the pandemic hit and are in the final stages of planning our Spring 2022 Everybody Dance festival at Hudson River Park's Pier 62. I hope those of you who are local will join us at one or more of our upcoming events.

Yellowstone VCR Residency in Billings, Montana: 3/31 – 4/5
I spent an inspiring five days with fellow choreographer Maya Orchin researching ideas, performing, and teaching. We performed an excerpt of a new piece we are working on at Montana State University and accepted students into our Young Artists Program at Dance Italia this summer. Thank you, Leigh Schanfein, for hosting us, for the unforgettable hike up Beartooth, and the magical dinner at Red Lodge. It all feels like a fairytale, and I am looking forward to returning!
