“West Side Dance Story” is inspired by dance happenings on the West Side of Manhattan. Growing up in Westchester, I routinely came into the city with my mother to attend dance performances at the Joyce, City Center, and Lincoln Center, to name only a few of the renowned theaters known for hosting dance companies from here in New York City and all over the world. I hope my early exposure to watching performances, coupled with my steady hobby of taking classes both in my hometown and in Manhattan will lead me to be insightful and add merit to my modest commentary about the vibrant dance world up and down Broadway.
