Inspiring Dancers - Interview Series - With Leigh Schanfein

"Great dancers are great not because of their technique, they are great because of their passion". Does it sound like an old and well-known quote of Martha Graham? I am quoting it again because dancing and surviving as a dancer is not just as fancy as we write beautiful quotes on our wall and go back and have pop corn. It takes passion to show up every day in the empty studios for practice.. It takes perseverance to not to quit when nothing seems working.. It takes determination to push yourself when nobody does it ! It takes lot of courage to choose sweat and sore feet over partying and being lazy ! It takes immense love towards dance to rehearse the same movement again and again to make it look effortless and beautiful.. To be a dancer is to be your own friend, philosopher, guide, motivator. This interview series is my humble attempt to interview all such wonderful dancers, teachers and choreographers who inspired me in this journey. In that way, I can show my gratitude t
