• &burn • . . Grateful to have had the opportunity to choreograph a small TigerNight section for @triple8dance recently. Even as an old-af alum who hasn’t choreographed in months, I always appreciate when people still make the time/effort to learn my steps - esp those in my cast who have never learned my choreo, or even danced before this year! 😭 . . Made this little section in a 1hr late-night choreo blast - eager to get back into creating! . . 🎵: &burn - @billieeilish @vincestaples 💡: @gregumali 💃🏻: @bella_razz @catthyu @cindychengg_ @dragon_solorio @jennywang12 @yu.kristine @zeytunwest

• move! • . . A little phrase I choreographed for an upcoming @triple8dance project 👀. Shoutout for those who learned + @benjaminhenry123 and @one_in_a_lillian for helping me record the tutorial! . . Gave myself an hour to make this, and worked on texture and speed changes without going too crazy on intricacy - p happy how it turned out! . . 🎵: move! - @nikizefanya 💡: @gregumali 💃🏻: @benjaminhenry123 @gregumali @one_in_a_lillian

• 7:00 (uncut) • . . Uncut version of the choreo I made for a BAC video/workshop last week . Didn’t go too wild on musicality for this one, but tried to work on speed changes and dynamics a bit instead. . . s/o for @zeytunw drinking w her roommates so I had some hours to kill and the Woolworth windows for being v reflective at night . . 🎵: 7:00 - @brysontiller 💡: @gregumali

• the drop iv • . . Back at it again with @gen.series training under THE @austnedwards . Learned a ton about execution and freestyling this go around, but tbh mad enjoyed just hanging with Austin and the rest of the group each week. . . Here’s my 3 runs of Austin’s piece, from most recent to the first one after learning with @one_in_a_lillian ! . . 🎵: Yea Yea - Pop Smoke 💡: @austnedwards

• miyazaki • a short dance film . . dance, to me, is simply a journey to understand myself through movement and music. . . Thanks for watching my first attempt to make a serious-ish concept video all by myself in a NYC apartment room. Huge thanks to @projectd_nj and my directors @ericcdelgado @ianurbina and @chefcoach_reg for the constant push and support in the team’s creativity, in all forms. . . 🎵: Miyazaki - @sogallant 💡: @gregumali

• quick • . . This one by @isidrorafae1 and @seleneharo has been on my to-learn queue for a MINUTE now. It’s been a while since @ethosdance_ , but I had so much fun with learning this one - as if a reminder of the energy and motivation surrounding these two and the whole Ethos community. . . 🎵: Quick - @duckwrth 💡: @seleneharo @isidrorafae1

• just get here • . . Had to step out onto the roof and enjoy the 0.27 hours of NYC sunshine we get a day to re-record this joint from @ericcdelgado . Always grateful to learn from this young 🐐 . . Eric taught this in class the other week and realized it’s been a minute since I felt good/confident after taking an in-person class. I think with quarantine and the availability of tutorial-based classes, my real-time pickup feels mad rusty. Gonna start working to get that back. . . 🎵: Just Get Here - @xvromar @vanjess @wale 💡: @ericcdelgado

• what you want • . . Another quick wiggle for @projectd_nj : freestyle prompt was “dance like your feet are stuck in molasses”. Tbh this one was pretty difficult - had to balance the tension needed to slow down my feet and relaxing enough to still flow through movements. . . Not the most proud of this one, but want to get back on my training and stay accountable here. . . 🎵: What You Want - Danny Dwyer
