ABOUT NOAH
Hello, my name is Noah and I have a lot going on. I am a dancer/choreographer, teacher, traveler, lover of the mountains, and I could keep going but I want to keep this part short and sweet.

I am now 31 to give you some idea of that timeline. Most recently I have been in what one would call a depressive episode for the last nine or so months.
