Siena Yannotti
I move to be understood in the most authentic way possible. My body acts as the display of my intimate knowledge to divulge myself to anyone who wishes to know.

Post graduation, Yannotti plans on pursuing a career in concert dance and freelance choreography, (wherever in the world that may take her).
