Created and directed by Sonya Tayeh., The Endurance To Move brings her intense, unique vision to the stage, expressing the miracle of survival and the strength to endure any obstacle.

Originally from Detroit, she received her BFA in dance studying dance history, anatomy, and performance from Wayne State University.

Renee Kester, Melody Lacayanga, Nick Lanzisera, Kevin Le, Kristin Lorello, Danielle Peig, Brooke Pierotti, Joey Tarwarter, Chelsea Thedinga.

My experiences working with Sonya have been influential challenging and inspirational. She creates an aura of energy that pulls drive out of people to push themselves even harder than they knew was possible. Sonya has set a new standard that has been lost in LA for discipline and respect in rehearsals as well as on the stage. - Kristine Lorella,
