In the spirit of performing at Seismic Dance Event this weekend, I’m sharing the story of how I became a gogo dancer—where the inspiration first struck, the steps I took to get on a team, and what those early days looked like. I reflect on how festival performances have shifted over the years, especially behind the scenes, and tie it back to last week’s theme of digging the well deep. Staying devoted to what you love matters.
