Dance has been the main guiding force in Becky Hill's life. Her love of, and involvement in, percussive dance has quite literally shaped friends she's made and places she's been. With banjo playing and square dance calling added to the mix, Appalachian music and dance traditions have become a sacred connection to place and community for her. She reminds us that some of our creative loves may be relaxed and informal (like playing tunes in the kitchen) and others may be arduous and complicated (like pushing the envelope of your craft or medium, especially if you are making it your profession). When you dedicate yourself to carving time out for that "thing" you really want to do or learn about, your life will be richer for it. And when in doubt, work hard, play hard and embrace the radical joy that is now.
