“It was really incredible to witness the love that every member of Adaptations has for each other and the community. It is rare to get the chance to step into, be held by, and witness such a strong group, especially in a professional dance setting. This is something I will be seeking out in my future professional endeavors-as well as acknowledging when this feeling/culture is not inherently present-and now knowing how to cultivate it myself.”
