One of my favorite Drama performances from the East Meets West Polarity competition, September 2010, the beautiful Lela Song! Fabulous song choice and what an emotional performance.
Lela has had a passion for dance since age 5, when she began taking ballet and Chinese folkloric dance. During high school she joined a DC-based dance company that fused the strength, grace and discipline of ballet with the multitude of traditional movements and story-telling that characterize traditional Chinese dance forms, a path that has led to performances in such places as The Kennedy Center. Although she left the path to pursue a career in another passion, biological science, dance has remained an integral part of her life -- a much-needed physical and creative outlet. In 2005, she discovered pole dancing at our very own Shergold Studio and has been hooked ever since! Lela is currently finishing her Ph.D. in the field of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Virginia, where she is studying the development of embryonic body shape and form in very early mouse embryos. Although this appears worlds apart from dance, Lela sees beauty and art in what she does and argues that much of her work requires a good eye for photography, only at the microscopic level. She is looking forward to graduating and moving with her husband to New York City, where she believes will be the perfect medium in which to pursue both her passions.
