“After having my son in 2023, I felt called to start dancing again. I found my way back through Full Circle’s open company classes, where I was immediately drawn to Tiffanee’s choreography & deeply inspired by each of the dancers. Full Circle Dance allows me to embrace all the parts of myself as a dancer, mother, and artist.” - Katie
