2025 RECITAL INFO
"My dream has always been to be able to provide an environment where kids and the youth of our communities can come together and , through the art of dance, learn about our culture, history, and music. My hope is to be able to instill in them, love for our homeland and our people - at least as much as I do. My goal is to make a contribution to society by making a difference in the lives of Armenian communities. This is what I live for and this is what I love doing with a passion."
