FINAL VIDEO Now you know... You know why Sarah has a tattoo that says "I love you mucho" on her arm.... You know why Ericka's presence has a strangely calming effect . You know why Kayla is simultaneously very tough and very sensitive. You know why Erika smiles all the time, even when she's not happy. You know why Starr buying a new bed this month should bring you to tears. You know why Nikisha will sometimes stare out the window, more interested in the sky than the room. You know why Venessa instinctively acts with such love and integrity. You know that Shawna's silence is strength. You know why it's an act of wonder that Crystal radiates so much grace when she's had to withstand so much hate. You know why Isabelle will stabilize a room. You know that Jas has many homes, and many more to come. You know that Joey is a reflection of two halves of a whole. You dance with these girls every week or at least see them in passing. And now you know them. And THAT is the wonder of dance in its purest form. Let's wrap it up with a celebration. Our final video, with words by Maya Angelou, leading us home. https://vimeo.com/519650564/e07eca598b

https://vimeo.com/516391483 Today I bring you the story of Shawna, Starr, and Isabelle. Constellations VI: Invisible Thread... This piece takes my breath away. Even now, being so familiar with the movement and music, I cry every time I watch it. There are some stories and intersections that just make a home in your heart, and there's no getting rid of them. Thank you Shawna, Belle, and Starr for being a dream to work with; playful, sensitive, willing. The solos each of you created are a perfect reflection of your magic. Belle and Shawna: your faith and assuredness are what the world needs now. Starr: I miss you every day, every rehearsal. I know you're out there doing your thing, but I hope you know my heart is yours forever. No bees were harmed in the making of this video. Happily, no Kayla's were harmed, either.

When I asked the dancers of Animus to share a single letter to the person of their choice about their roots, I knew there would be some letters to parents. Sarah's letter to her mom was filled with so much real and present love that unless you know her story, you'd assume her mother was still with us. The process was collaborative: using her strongest memories of her mother, we created small vignettes, so each space she moves into is a different story. It came together like ...a blessing; not easy, but beautiful. Sarah: I get to watch you week after week, and every single time, I am always aware that it's my privilege to watch you grow and that you do so because you were planted so well. I love you and thank you for letting me work with you on something so important and personal. https://vimeo.com/505392565

They y will come for you. They will rob you of your balloon and ask you to smile..." Inside the connection between Crystal and Nikisha's letters was a clear call to action. Between the words "most hated demographic in America" and "haunting images of my ancestor's feet" was a world waiting to be talked about. I rarely name a piece after the song, but in this case, there are no better words. https://vimeo.com/502710860
