Before this project, it had been awhile since I’ve done anything I felt connected to.
I had forgotten how to dance.
In so many ways, I’ve identified with these students, these young people:
I’ve felt like an outsider.
I’ve wanted to leave.
I’ve been fed up.
I’ve not been well in my soul.
But…
They’ve inspired me to not be afraid.
to live.
to take risks.
to love myself.
So, while I never got the hang of hip-hop, or mastered the ballet, I feel like leaping and pop-locking to the music of life.
Recently, a dear friend gave me a sign that I will forever cherish. It said:
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,
but about dancing in the rain.
I am so glad to be doing my dance, with transcenDANCE, with the rest of the fab five at emota, and, of course, with the extraordinary Jonathan Huffman who did just about everything here. No lie.

I love it, Love It, LOVE IT! My favorite episode by far. These kids, these children of God, so fragile on the outside, so powerful from the inside. I feel like I know them a little now. I want to see them DANCE!

This video is wonderful! It deeply touches me… as a former dancer I know how dance “saved my life” during some trying times. transcenDANCE is what Dance is all about and emota’s work with this company, and this performance, is nothing less than spectacular! Great work! Thanks!
