This insightful dancer at Explo at Wellesley shares her passion for movement and meeting others from around the world on her way back from her weekend adventure Sea Kayaking.
I'd say the thing I'm most passionate about in life is dancing. When I'm dancing, I'm so focused and concentrated. Every move is planned out, but you have the ability to make creative choices and express yourself. When I'm dancing, I feel like I'm doing what I was meant to do in life.
At Explo, I feel most in my element when I'm in my Hip-Hop workshop. This session, we got to practice our dancing for audiences and for other performers so we could get criticism from different perspectives. We recently performed for the improv class and they performed for us so it was really rewarding getting to hear and see how different people work creatively.
Explo, to me, is so incredible, because learning about other people and about other cultures is something that just happens on its own. Like, my good friend right next to me is from Nepal. I had no idea what people are like in Nepal, but coming to Explo teaches you that throughout the whole word, while people are all unique, we are also very similar in some ways, even though we come from different places.
