Who makes up your art circle?

My art circle is made up by any different support systems! Firstly, the wonderful students within our local community that I am so privileged to teach are the humans who make up my art circle. My students may not always believe this, but they are THE biggest inspirations of my art circle.  Secondly, just like the students that I teach, other local artist in the community have influenced me in many ways, but definitely have given me inspiration and encouragement.  Thirdly, my family, friends, and coworkers participate in my art circle by always being encouraging, supportive, and understanding about all things dance.
