About what inspires them, outside of dance
MIKHAIL: What inspire me most is my family especially my mom and son. They inspire me to do
great and meaningful work in this world and become the best person I can be.
JUDY: Family (my parents and my sister) inspire me the most. Seeing how my parents worked
so hard to raise our family and instill in my sister and I a strong sense of independence and the
mindset that we can accomplish anything we set our mind to has not just inspired but also
empowered me to also put in the work needed to accomplish my goals. Travelling and meeting
new people also inspires me! Learning from different stories, viewpoints, and experiences keeps
my mind growing and thinking of new creative ways of living and understanding the world we
live in.
