Dancer Testimonies

  • Being a part of WhirlWind has inspired me so deeply as a creative to push boundaries for my own artistic voice; there is no limit on creativity. WhirlWind creates a place for people to believe that what they have inside them is worth sharing with the world. There’s endless room as an artist to feel self-doubt in your work and capabilities, and WhirlWind continues to show up for artists and give them a place to feel valued. Curating a space for people to come together, and experience movement that makes the audience feel like they can relate to it.

  • Not only has being a part of the WhirlWind provided me with a community full of some of the most joyful and outrageously talented individuals I have ever met, but the company has also eagerly complemented the vibrant Columbus arts community in just a few short months. Each artist is valued and embraced in the space, and I have watched the confidence of each company member grow with the steadfast knowledge that the breadth of their contributions is precious. In a world that can sometimes feel cutthroat, WhirlWind has given me a place where I feel a sense of true belonging - a safe place to land in order to start making the change in my community I so desperately want to make.

  • WhirlWind has been the healthiest post-grad transition for me. Josh has eased so many of my professional dance anxieties and is such an intentional mentor. I feel so lucky to share the space with over 30 other artists as well. This company is truly magical and I know it will only grow to be more special over time”
