Wanna See What I Do?

Not a lot of people have seen what it is that I do. Like I said, I choreograph for Youth America Ballet with some of the most talented ballerinas I've ever worked with. I get to create contemporary pieces which is really fun because I get to be as creative as I want to. And being an actress, I get real deep into the characterization of it all which some dancers really struggle with. This is a piece I did 2 years ago for one of my girls, Paige. She's beautiful to watch. Her costume is a bit outlandish because it's supposed to be kind of a psychedelic theme. We eventually toned it down a bit. Anyway, it seemed to be a real crowd pleaser. So, enjoy! (The name of this piece is Bent.)
