Hayden hopes to be a voice for change in the dance industry. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the forefront of their work. They view dance and movement as a medium for change, stories, and healing. They hope to empower all bodies, genders, and humans to take up space in the world. They believe that dance and the arts can continue to push us towards the future and towards the revolution!
