"Be like the snail: persevere, carry your home with you, and leave a trail of awesomeness."
~ Neil Gaiman

A Jelek is not a "snail" - it's Hungarian, roughly translating to 'your mark'. Every schoolchild in Hungary is assigned one, a simple but personal symbol to help them identify belongings. Gergő Csatai's jel (singular form) was a snail.
Gergő was another instructor at Twist & Shout this year, and one of the things I love about international instructors is how their cultural influences shape their work. As much as social media makes the world feel smaller, there's still something deeply personal about the way an artist’s background shapes their creativity.
And like a snail carrying its home on its back, Gergő brings a piece of his home with him, sharing his distinct style.
Gergo ... Gergy ... Gargy ... Gary. It makes sense. *runs away*
