Charlie Maybee is a freshman Dance major living in the artist colony. It is not unusual to find Charlie singing and playing his guitar around the 2nd floor. That, and of course dancing. Charlie has been dancing for eleven years. If you talk to him long enough, he might just start tapping for you. And no, it doesn't matter what kind of shoes he's wearing. He'll still tap and you'll still be thoroughly impressed. Charlie is a breath of fresh air around here, an artist who doesn't have to live at Bowe St. But that's just because he dwells in the dance studio, working just as hard to create another kind of art.

This is an awesome thing that you're doing! What inspired you? VCU has so many artists, it's impossible to meet all of of them, let alone find out some of the things they are inspired by. Your little blurb about the artist was great as well.
