Near, Far, Wherever You Are

Hi everyone! This is Nisreen in America!

How are you? I am enjoying the blossoming spring.

Since my relocation from Japan to the US, I've been learning about dance as a medium of communication with people across borders. I've had a truly fortuitous experience in the dance community here, being received with so much openness and hospitality.

Even in a completely different country with different language and culture, our shared joy and enthusiasm about performing has been helping me connect with people with the same interest.

Though dancing has always been a way of expressing myself for nearly 15 years, I'd always somehow felt a sort of solitude about it in the past. Now I enjoy it more as a form of socialisation as well, which makes me feel more whole and fulfilled.
