"When I moved to New York to pursue my dance career, Anya was the only person who asked me what my goals were and what I was willing to do to achieve them. I knew from that moment she was serious. She has dedicated her time and belief to me unconditionally–and always brings out the best of me. She is an inspiration for all of us who believe in art, passion, and dance."
