Samuel van der Veer

To me, dance is like studying infinity, a concept impossible for us to grasp. Its volatile nature urges me to practice it on a daily basis and I gratefully succumb to its demands and wishes. Every day, I find myself surrounded by the brilliant minds and bodies that make a seemingly empty space feel charged with something we cannot feel, touch or sometimes even explain. Studying the inexplicable, the inexhaustible, keeps me curious and fills me with endless excitement. – Samuel
