The Company Dancers 2010
Rowan Willigan Age 17
“As a dancer, I’ve learned to see the world differently, through eyes that look at an open space and see a stage. Eyes that see the narrow beam of a street lamp as a spot light, inviting me onto a concrete dance floor. Dance has become the lens through which I see the world.”
Christy Kowalsky Age 17
‘It’s not the amount of hours you’ve spent training, or the number of stages you’ve graced, its how much you’ve let your art take hold and grip you. For me dance just doesn’t let go, and it never will .”
Kaitlyn Hall Age 16
‘I don’’t really know what I would do if I wasn’t a dancer..its so ingrained in me, like walking or talking, it seems so natural. Without it..I’d be lost.”
Hannah Tobias Age 15
“I cannot explain how I feel when I dance. Every movement is a breath filled with strength, making me feel capable of almost anything. When we light up the eyes of the little girl in the front row, I know where I am meant to be.”
Leighann Kowalsky Age 20
“Merce Cunningham said it best when he said, “(dance)...its not for unsteady souls.’ But I do think dance gives you something back, its just a whole lot less tangible, and a lot deeper down in your soul.”
Kayli Sinon Age 15
‘I don’t know to many fancy words, although just saying ‘ I like dance’ isn’t enough. Dance is my very secret place, my sanctuary, the one place where I can go and just be me...,just doing my best.
Cool thing is, thats enough.”
Emily Holohan Age 20
‘ Dance Makes me feel alive! Its like something inside me wakes up and I become a bolder, stronger being that only exist onstage.”
