“My time in Galatina clarified and reinforced things I already knew, taught me many things I didn’t yet know, and made me hungry to know all the things I don’t even know that I don’t know yet. ...

It left me with questions of how I can best fit in ... while remaining true to the regionality of vernacular dances.”
