Dance

Jana has a unique awareness for all of the people around her, and her ability to recognize even the most hidden emotions/feelings is incredible. I’ve been so lucky to meet her and be gifted her kindness and encouragement. One moment in particular that will always stick in my mind is how she spend time with me at a wedding where I was feeling so out of my depth & removed from others. While most everyone was on the dance floor, I stayed in my own little corner, participating from afar in my own way. She found me & encouraged me to dance where I was without ever making me feel small or weird for being uncomfortable. She joked and danced and laughed with me, helping me feel so included in the party despite my nerves. At every event Jana spends time with & meets everyone at their level, building up the most caring & perceptive communities. She influences people to grow and take steps outside their comfort zone without ever pushing.
