This dance was created to celebrate Michaela's triumphant return to dance after a serious injury. It starts off simple, with small moves, and becomes bigger and more complex as it continues to symbolize the gradual return of strength. Featuring movements based off physical therapy exercises, "We're Back" is a fun, tongue-in-cheek reflection on how nothing can hold us down for long! Dancers: Ellie Conrad, Savannah Houlihan, Serra Hodgeman, Michaela Minock, Madison Soupiset
We're Back: Who Needs Knee Braces?
