3:40-4:25pm Today was the first meeting with my  new mentor Hector Marquez. Within this meeting my associate Lola and I talked with Hector to figure out his envisions of the dance we are choreographing for him. Hector explained the general idea of the musical he has written and showed us where exactly our dances are in the show.
