I have been back in the states for over a month now. I am taking dance technique classes, dance academic classes along with other liberal arts classes for my last semester at the University of Minnesota. A pilot course launched this semester at TU Dance Center working closely with Toni Pierce-Sands as well as TU Dance company members in learning company repertoire. Another course giving me insight to the world of dance as an entirety is Theorizing Dancing Bodies. This is a course taught by renowned artist and scholar Ananya Chatterjea. Amidst all these robust opportunities, I am surprised to say how extremely difficult it has been coming back to the United States in regards to dance. Experiencing such different worlds invokes pause to understand what exactly I value in a dance company, and actually, in dance as a whole.
