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.
