DanceAbility Stories: Part 5
Hello friends! We are back this weekend after an unintentional break last week, of which I apologize for, Jana and I were in Lane Community College’s “Collaborations" last weekend. But we are so happy to have you all click the link and join us today! I got the pleasure of interviewing Bakul Willard, a member of the professional company. Read what he said below!
Q: How did you find DanceAbility?
A: My mom knew about DanceAbility for a long time. She waited until I was older to tell me about DanceAbility. Then I saw them dancing at the lane county fair. I talked to Jana after the performance. She already knew about me as a dancer because she had seen me at A3.
Q: When did you start dancing with DanceAbility?
A: They offered me a scholarship for the training that Alito offered [in August of 2016].
Q: What’s the biggest thing you’ve learned from working with Alito and DanceAbility?
A: The biggest thing [I’ve learned] is that everybody can dance in their own unique way. And we can all dance together.
Q: How has DanceAbility changed your life either as a person or a dancer?
A: DanceAbility has changed my life as a dancer. I have become a better performer because of the focus on other dancers and communicating with the audience.
Q: When you did the training did anything stand out more than everything else?
A: When I did the training I was younger than everyone. I had been an assistant dance teacher. They were all experienced dance teachers but they fully accepted me as a member of the team.
In a side comment Bakul said, “I have enjoyed everyone I have met and worked with through DanceAbility.”.
