University of Washington

Dear Friends,

Starting in June of this year, I will attend the University of Washington in Seattle in order to get an MFA in Dance. It feels like I've been thinking about this step for years and at last, I will be going. It's a two year program with lots of really interesting collaborations and opportunities. I'm excited to a student again and to take on new challenges.

The campus is really beautiful, right on the water. The faculty was very nice and the undergrads were really strong and beautiful dancers. The program invites only three grad students each year and I'm lucky to be one of them. As a teaching assistant, my tuition is waved and there is a stipend for living expenses. It's a great opportunity.

Of course, I will miss Maine and all of my friends and family here a great deal. I'll post updates of what I'm up to in Seattle here on my blog so you can keep informed if you wish.

On May 12 at 7:30 p.m., I'll be hosting another of my Salons at New Dance Studio. I'm calling it Salon So Long Louis. Please drop by for some fun and farewell.
