Keren Leiman

Dance has always been a way for me to connect to people. To my friends, to strangers in an audience and to myself. It is an escape and a way to express, very precisely, the big, abstract emotions inside of myself. Also, as a kid, my number one goal was to grow up to be a fairy and live in a fantasy world and dance was the closest thing I could get to that. – Keren
