Hayden Mucha, USC Kaufman Class of 2028.

Where did you train?

I trained at Dance by Holly Rick in Cocoa, Florida.

What inspires you?

The desire to contribute to the evolution of dance by pushing the boundaries of what has been done in the past to challenge old ideas, reflect individualistic expression, and integrate societal shifts inspires me to study this art form. Dance is ever-changing to reflect the world around it, and I want to be along for the ride.
