The when is really out of our control when it comes to achieving the career goals we set for ourselves. Over the years we have to pivot, engage with new ideas, and much of the time learn on the job. When I first joined Visceral in 2015, Paige Fraser was one of those dancer's I looked up to.
In our conversation we dive into the life of a dance captain on Broadway, the importance of sharing your story, and how dancer's today can focus their energy when they want to do it all.
