## Caption

It’s crazy, the amount of time that I spent preparing for these multi-genre auditions every summer at Nationals! The amount of direction and prep to bring together five different genres, different choreographers, selecting & editing the music and teaching the work to the kids on what feels like a never-ending day… it was all worth it though! 

Not everyone understood my vision, but for those who did, it was electrifying. One minute is all it takes to change your life! Thank you to all of the contributing choreographers who trusted me and gave the dancers the framework to shine!
