Very humbled and honored to even be on the panel with folks that have influenced the Bay’s rich dance history. I personally don’t think I had any major influence on this scene compared to these folks, but I will do my part and talk about the generation I grew up dancing in, and what the experience was like from my point of view. I look forward to learning more about what was before my generation from the actual dancers who LIVED IT!
(Also looking forward to eating some Daly City Filipino Restaurant after hahah)
