Wanted to send a huge and heartfelt thank you to Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, their incredible staff, and the wonderful patrons for welcoming La Verdad’s UNCHAINABLE VOICES into your creative fabric. We are truly and eternally grateful for the warmth, generosity, and space to share this work.

🙌🏽Honored and excited to share La Verdad at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park this Friday, April 17 at 7PM.
Truth lives in motion. With La Verdad, we reach beyond the proscenium to explore the essence of humanity—connection, courage, and the power of our shared voice.
We’ll be sharing Part 2 of Unchainable Voices / Home and Part 3: Bending Light as part of this special showing.
Being here has been a cultural revelation for me in the art of dance. It is truly a privilege to have a space to incubate, bond, and discover together. Grateful to share this moment and this journey. ✨

❤️🙏🏽 For nothing is fixed, forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

It’s time.
After years of movement, reflection, and rebirth—La Verdad lives.
This isn’t just a name. It’s a declaration.
Truth seen. Truth moved. Truth shared.

28 Years of Excellence!!!
Last night was the end of an era for me. I took @vern93 to his first @alvinailey performance when we were 16 years old in Chicago.
I didn’t know then that he would go on to craft a legendary, decades spanning career with The Ailey Organization. But, a spark was lit in him that night as teenagers, and he knew! He believed!
From auditioning for the Summer Program together to watching him join Ailey II to seeing him ascend to become a member of one of the quintessential dance companies on earth - it has been a joy, privilege and proud honor to watch you SOAR, Vernard.
Your dedication to excellence is unmatched. You have thrilled audiences across the globe for THREE DECADES!!! It has been remarkable and I’m so proud of you!!!
I know this next chapter will be filled with even more milestones of excellence because that’s just what you do.
But, for now, I’m singing this song to YOU! Bravo my dearest! I love you deep, deep. Thanks for letting me be a part of the ride!!
The sky is just the beginning! Let’s GO!
