Nova Valkenhoff

I feel lucky to have chosen the profession of dance. It will never stop challenging me, as a person and as an artist. We can always do better or work harder. But I aspire to never stop being grateful. Grateful for everything that the arts can bring us. Grateful for the the incredible people I am meeting and surrounded with. Grateful for being here. Joining NDT feels like diving into an ocean of inspiration, determination and passion. And I can’t wait for the moment where I will be able to swim. – Nova
