It’s Good to be BACK!!

January 7, 2014 By shuchen

Yesterday was our 1st day back and it was frigid outside (6 degrees, windchill -13)… but we were working hard and sweating inside the studio at BalletNova Center for Dance. It was so good to see everyone! We were working on my new work ‘Face to Face’.
