My experience with FFDN over the course of the last few months has been incredibly enriching. My relationship with the organization began through an internship that turned into an official role as Festival Coordinator. The team welcomed me with open arms, and being surrounded by such dedicated and inspiring individuals makes the experience so much more meaningful. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to facilitate impactful and accessible artistic experiences through dance, and to be part of an organization that aligns with my personal values and passions.
