THREE KEY EVENTS:
-Clearly telling myself that I want to follow the path of a dance artist for an indefinite period of time.
-Studying dance at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
-Every year, before the end of the dance season, reflecting with my students on the past year, I feel more and more strongly that what I am doing makes sense.
