Artist Statement
What is Dance? Maybe it is simply a different from of reality. Dance is a way to express what cannot be conveyed in words. Dance is a peak into ones soul. It allows us to escape our mortal bodies and see the world through a different lens. As dancers we put meaning behind movement and movement behind meaning. We find passion and liberation in dance. Our movement is meant for the world to read as its own. Our dances reflect humanity and humanity reflects upon us. We are dancers, but we are so much more...we are artists, performers, and choreographers. More importantly we are real; we are our art.
