“The opportunity to be a part of something like Cycle is a lifelong goal. Encouraging and cultivating the creative side of our patrons, seeing growth, becomes a gift to me. I intend to learn from them as well. This symbiosis should leave all parties energized, fulfilled and looking forward to the next session. We will be on our feet for a portion of each lesson. I will listen to our patrons and adapt the lesson to accommodate. If I can effectively pass on some of the things I have learned in the Arts, including the mistakes, this will be fun. Let’s get started!”
