“������ý��׿�ƽ�� Lafayette provided me a place to jump into something that I had never really done before. It gave me a space and a group of people that allowed me to try something new. It gave me a place to challenge myself.”

“You just have to learn to do what you love and be honest with who you are. Put something out there that is kind of a reflection of your own beliefs and a reflection of your own self.”

“I can’t even count the number of cool opportunities we get to work with musicians from around the world. It’s been really great.”

“I know there are so many different things in dance that I could try to do: I could take up ballroom, salsa, teach at a high school in Japan. There’s so much variety in dance, and most people don’t really know that. But when you’re in college, they open those doors for you.”

“The dance program at ������ý��׿�ƽ�� Lafayette showed me there are a million opportunities for work in the field of dance outside of the realm of performance, including teaching, choreographing, arts administration, dance history, lighting, and costuming. ������ý��׿�ƽ�� Lafayette showed me how to find these opportunities, network, and market myself as a working professional in the field of dance no matter which avenue I decide on.”

“The good thing about the small theatre program is they allowed you to do whatever you wanted — it wasn’t a free-for-all, but I’d say like, ‘I want to direct a play,’ and they’d say, OK, how can we support you?’”
