A Letter From Your Dance Teacher

Keesha Beckford | May 22, 2013 | Arts
When you are asked to work at something because that is simply what one does, many of you ask "Why should I? So-and-so made this thing and it went mad viral." A few people are genuine overnight sensations -- results of our spectacle-hungry, media-addicted culture.
