When Flying Pigs Dance

My late grandmother, the most loving person I've ever known, gave me a ceramic flying pig when I was younger to remind me anything is possible. I fell in love with the pig immediately. I have always loved the expression 'When Pigs Fly,' but being a dancer I love the expression 'When Flying Pigs Dance' even more.

I grew up a military brat and had the opportunity to live in Hong Kong when I was very young. The Chinese culture has always been present in my household. I was born in the year of the pig, just another reason I thought the name was fitting.
