The most fundamental aspect of being a dancer is having nothing to prove, but everything to share. As a Dance Diplomat with Movement Exchange, an organization that unites dance and service in underserved communities, I will be working with an incredible team of artists, students and activists to do just that.

This summer, we will be traveling to Panama for an eight-day program in which we will teach dance at orphanages, public schools, and institutions such as the University of Panama. We will also take class from local dance professionals and learn about the cultural fabric of Panama through its dance traditions.

Through this site, I am asking for your help in making this trip possible. Please help me reach my goal, and the goal of Movement Exchange, in bringing dance to the children of Panama!

Help us cultivate joy and unity through art in this world that so desperately is in need.
