Expressing one 's creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to society are examples of self-actualization. With the pursuit of self- actualization, you will realize your full potential in life. The dance concert was just that, the dancers had a motive and that was to fulfill their full potential.

A mixture of emotions could be felt throughout the performance and that’s what made me fall inlove with this production even more. I would recommend this production to any that has a fascination of
