Another update! It's been a month since my bike accident on 8/26. I'm doing the exercises, healing my brain and bones, and putting out podcasts. On this episode, I tell my story about when Mr. Gregory Hines observed the tap class I was teaching. I discuss how every tap dancer should have their shoes with them at all times and be ready to throw down! Also the story about the time I joined Chikako Iwahori onstage when Cyro Baptista traveled to St. Paul, MN with Beat The Donkey. I am thankful, grateful, and touched by your well-wishes, prayers, and generosity. It is a huge reason why I am healing so well. Thank you!
