I have made so many sappy speeches and written so many sentimental love letters about Dance Theatre during the last month, because I have had to say goodbye to a company that I hold near and dear to my heart. For a while I thought that much distance would separate me from the members of this marvelous company in Oxford, OH, I am now happy to say that I have instead taken a job in advertising right down the road in Cincinnati and, while I will not be in the studio everyday and I will not be in Lana Kay’s office every other day, it’s fortunate for me to know that I can drive just a short distance and be back in my happy place. Over the last 4 years Dance Theatre has pushed me to my limits and outside of my comfort zone, it has helped me gain more confidence in myself and in my career path, and it has provided me with so many lifelong friendships. I think of DT everyday because it lives in a part of my heart that will never forget what an amazing time it was. I owe the company everything and will always be willing to help out whenever I can. Hopefully I can go back and guest choreograph sometime in the near future!
