Be A Bridge did not begin as an event idea.
It began as a responsibility.
After decades of teaching, mentoring, and leading across generations within the dance community, it became clear that what was missing was not talent or innovation, but connection.
Be A Bridge exists to hold space for that connection with care.
FOUNDER & STEWARD
Miss Andye J
STEWARDSHIP
Be A Bridge is stewarded by Miss Andye J, a dance educator, creative director, and mentor with over 25 years of experience working across educational, commercial, and community spaces.
Her work has consistently focused on bridging generations, honoring lineage, and supporting long-term impact. Rather than centering trends or competition, her approach is anchored in responsibility, respect, and continuity.
Be A Bridge is not a departure from that work.
It is an extension of it.
A CAREER IN SERVICE OF CONTINUITY
Throughout her career, Andye has served as a teacher, creative leader, and mentor within studios, conventions, and community-based spaces. Across roles, the throughline has remained the same: creating environments where learning is rooted in respect, care, and shared responsibility.
Be A Bridge is not a departure from that work.
It is an extension of it.
This platform exists to support meaningful exchange across generations — not through hierarchy or nostalgia, but through conversation, movement, and intentional gathering.
