Q&A with Becky Epstein
Kindness means showing compassion for others and treating others with respect. I think kindness means putting other people’s feelings before your own. Even the smallest act of kindness–saying “good morning” or holding the door open for someone can truly brighten someone’s day.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
I am so honored to be the head choreographer for DFK this year! I am so happy that I get to share my passion of dance with the world!
Dance is a universal language. Dance isn’t just about steps, it’s about telling a story. I love that dance can help people express their emotions.
