Tao Porchon-Lynch has traveled to Virginia Beach a couple of times over the years to lead workshops. She is very sweet and to say the least, INSPIRING! At one workshop I participated in she had recently undergone a hip replacement. Tao said she could do everything she wanted, only slower.
There's a story behind how she connected with Virginia Beach. If I have the story right, in the early 2000's a male teacher from one of our local studios was in New York attending an advanced class. In walked an older woman who set up beside him. In his mind he wondered if she realized it was an advanced class. Well, he was delightfully surprised to witness her abilities. Afterward, he got to know her and told her she must come to Virginia Beach sometime. She did! A couple of times!
I will never forget Tao.
