Best Advice to Young Dancers
“ALWAYS KEEP TRAINING. Find passion, honesty, and truth in all that you do as an artist. Believe in yourself, and believe in making and creating your own path. Be yourself!!! Keep your eye on the target, don't ever let anyone tell you NO, and never give up on what you want! LOVE, JOEY”
