Chenille Saunders (my daughter) and I went to NMX together. Going to a conference to learn something new can be a wonderful experience especially if you make it a point to network and make new friends. Have lunch with them or invite them to join you for the parties. For me making friends and contacts is the best part of attending a conference. It is the part that you can’t do learning online, you can only do it in person.
Samela Dingus is a new friend that we made. I was so impressed with her goals. She had them completely detailed and she could tell you concisely what they were. She is fulfilling a need for dancers over 40 that are no longer being employed in dance and giving them a new outlet for their talent. What a wonderful woman she is.
