“I’ve been teaching dance to kids since the late 80’s.”
“How has working with kids changed your life?”
“Oh man, so much. The creativeness and that innocence in children is so important. So valuable. I take them to hospitals and senior centers to perform and sing for patients. We dance!”
“I bet that that’s so much light for them.”
“There’s one woman who said it was better than any medication that she gets. It brings them back to life. They sit in their wheelchairs for hours, but when the kids come they start moving and clapping. There was this woman who always had this angry look on her face, but the kids opened her up and I realized the look on her face had nothing to do with what she felt inside. She passed away and the kids were able to deal with it. They have no problem understanding the finality of life.”
