Master's thesis
Anna received a Master's Degree in Dance Education from the University of Northern Colorado. She focused her research on First Dances.

This thesis investigates the historical roots of First Dances, their evolution to modern day, and a transformative exploration of new possibilities so all relationships are fully represented through this age-old tradition.
