We started this piece as a goofy little session and throughout this process we both had personal moments of hardships where the later sessions were fueled by the simple desire to escape our realities. Art is more necessary than ever before, and I hope those of you who attended got to dig in to the details of this song a little bit deeper. We’re STILL working on this piece because we kept making changes to it up until the first person walked through that door. And it was done out of pure love and curiosity for what we could do to all the crazy sounds. Eternally grateful that we get to just make things that feel fun and happy and stupid with you. @24diana_campas Thank you guys for showing up or even just showing support, it means the world to us!

TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY! Join @24diana_campas & @___.jng.___ for a FREE community class! Intermediate/Advanced recommended but all are welcomed. See y’all soon! Did we mention it’s FREE??? Flyer by Zay

Life Lately: Friends. Saying yes to things for the plot. An eye-opening eclipse season. Trying things that (still) terrify me. Having the fortitude to take care of my physical health again after years of trying and failing to get started again. Baking for fun again. Dancing, dancing, and more dancing. Life changing concerts. I’d say we’re doing okay, all things considered.

llege pal perreo pero me fui encantado de la historia, la gente, y la cultura. que liberen a p fkn r.

Open style choreo class. Vibes: Just a silly goofy time. Intermediate recommended but all are welcomed!

a very goofy choreo session

life lately: new look. driving. sooo much driving. closing long chapters. beginning new stories. embracing friends you haven’t seen in forever. getting caught in storms with people that remind you that you’re allowed to skip through the rain. crossing what i thought were fantasies off of my bucket list. admiring the sky. thankful that i get to wake up and try again. thankful that i get to do it next to people that mean the world to me.

Moves: @genericartistname Life has been pulling me towards other responsibilities lately, getting to spend every night dancing has become less consistent but the absolute joy I have just simply being in the room has become more and more prominent as I navigate the current phase of my life. I was nervous about coming to this class tonight because Jonas’ understanding of his body and the way he choreographs is basically the polar opposite of how I move and a big contrast in how little I still understand my own body but that quickly disappeared within the first 5 minutes after remembering that it’s truly not that serious. The focus of tonight was movement exploration and range, and I feel good about this clip looking back at it. The depth I can reach on my right side even compared to a month ago is significant. The process of class has been less about getting the choreography down and more so about just really trying to understand the connection that the choreographer had when creating the piece. Responding over reacting. Being thoughtful with where you’re going next over anticipating the next move. The answer will always lie in the music. Also check out the end because when have I ever hit the floor for anything??? We’re starting to truly just move. Tonight was much needed.

1 of 12: Reconnect. The older I’ve gotten, the more my relationship and understanding of time changes and expands. Film photography fascinates me because it’s one of the few forms of time travel that actually exists. It’s a very permanent still of light located in a very specific place. Once you capture something the only way of destroying that moment is by physically destroying the exposure. There’s something that feels far more personal about having a physical/tangible thing that’s the result of an exact moment being experienced. With the current state of the world and the way technology is moving, I needed a way to reconnect with how I capture the things around me. I’ve begun thinking about the things I’d like to be able to show loved ones in the future if everything was to just suddenly collapse one day. These are my favorite shots off of the first roll of film I developed. Full auto on everything. I just wanted to experience the joy of going around and shooting things before I got down to the nitty gritty and learned all the in’s-and-out’s of this thing. A lot of unfocused pictures. A lot of bad angles because I still don’t know how to properly do compositions with this thing. But so much joy behind every moment.

i could not possibly be more honored that it was me that you chose to spend your final moments with. i couldn’t have been given a more perfect companion. you saw me go through life and showed me nothing but unconditional love throughout it all. thank you for 15 incredible years. i love you forever and always.

I only post pictures of myself like once every four years so see y’all in 2027

It’s all golden, every moment ☀️ - [LONG TEXT] I could spend days raving about how much you all mean to me and how I’m consistently inspired by each and everyone of you, not only as a dancer but also a human. I love y’all and thank you guys for making this crazy little team we have feel like a home to everyone that’s ever fortunate enough to be a part of it. Thank you to Haley Sikes for even thinking of me to audition, to you it may have been a whatever thing to just invite me and Diana but to me it meant the world. Thank you to Daniel Broxton for giving me an opportunity to actually get on stage. I have a long way to go but I hope it’s never understated just how truly grateful I am for the opportunities you have given me and I hope I can only improve from here and continue to be a part of this for as long as I can keep going. Your vision and direction is unlike anything else out there and the community you’ve garnered who believe in it should speak to how much we all appreciate you. Thank you to the choreographers who worked tirelessly to make this show happen, it’s hard to fake being silly and happy but you guys made just doing it fun, by the end the emotions I let my face show were genuine and not just acting because it just felt good to do! TO DIANA!! For those of you who don’t know, this is essentially a fourth Galdamez sister to me. The level of passion, professionalism, and ability to preserve that you have are so beyond your years it’s absolutely insane. Thank you for trusting in me with everything that was happening during these rehearsal processes and I hope you know that the support our characters gave your character is the support we’d all give you. We really did it!! We made New Gen and got to perform in a shorter time frame than we set for ourselves!!! Thank you all again. I love you all and am consistently inspired by each and every single one of you. Yes I’m repeating it again bc I mean it. Let’s do this again soon? 🫡
