“When I think of hurdles that may prove most challenging for a professional dancer to overcome, a few come to mind. Injury would be a big one; not having enough funds to pursue opportunities would be another; not having the opportunity to perform in the first place; and dealing with the feeling of not being good enough that all artists must face at some point. Over the past few years, Sueki has faced them all.”
