Gina Danene Thompson says…

"Ease up on yourself; every person in class - even those who look like they "have it" - is dealing with something. Do people walk out of dance class, go around the block and cry? Yes. Do they come back and try again? Yes. Why? They are all driven to move. Be humble - have respect and patience for yourself. Dancing is a process - one worth your while and guaranteed to change your life. You'll never turn back."~Gina Danene Thompson
