James R. Atkinson, Jr.

  Artist / Educator/Choreographer

When you witness dance, you hear and see the heart of the artists, the creator speaking without verbalizing it. Share your unspoken voice until it is heard by those who choose to value your commitment and craft. Although some seasons may have more joy than others, never allow yourself to diminish at the expense of others' opinions.
