How did you find your job? 
I started as an LJC intern and dance instructor assistant. However, I first met Lydia in the early 2000's when she asked me to be one of her featured young dancers in a piece that she choreographed.
 
What is your favorite part of the job?

My favorite part of the job is inspiring and motivating all of the young dancers and working with such talented, responsible, and fun staff. Not only do we inspire the students, but the works that they choreograph never fail to truly move and inspire our hearts.

Any advice for the next person who will have your job?

You will find out that this is not your average "summer job." You will have so much fun doing what you love that you will not want the day to end!
