### My story

I’m a bit old school, honestly. Dance for me isn’t just steps, it’s about building character. For years, I wouldn’t teach choreography till I saw real technique. Now, my group’s got muscle, form, grit. Watching them grow is wild, like seeing a tree push through concrete. Sometimes we’re strict, sometimes goofy - both matter. Choreography is art, but the fun? That’s the soul, yaar.
