How do we move together in a wired world ?How do the boundaries we exist with and create (technological and otherwise) affect our relationships? Timely questions as most everyone we walk by is plugged in to and entranced some tiny machine or other. Check out my IMPRESSIONS on the @dancenthusiast of @tiffanymillscompany , a small and mighty group of engaging movers who came together to 💃🏿 dance out their ideas about of borders ( with great musical,costume, and lighting collaborators) in BLUE ROOM -at the little gem of a theater in Tribeca @thefleatheater. #nycdance #performance #contemporaryperformance #moderndance #dancers #choreography #techanddance #boundaries #art #artists #nycartists #dancenthusiast @dancenthusiast #headphones #technology #goodthingscomeinsmallpackages (at The Flea Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_eXZwgEda/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bn1t5ymi0qkl

☺️ Lucky me!! Last month I had the chance to watch @mistyonpointe aka Misty Copeland and @carmendelavallade teach a special class to youngsters from the @dancetheatreofharlem and the @hsanyc Harlem School for the Arts. I discovered that even as an adult who has retired my ballet slippers,I still have so much to learn from ballet class. We are never to old to be enriched and inspired in this dance 💃🏿 of life. To check out the First 3 of the 10+Things We All Can Learn from Ballet class, on The Dance Enthusiast: 1. Loosen Up, Have Fun, Learn Something New! 2. Keep Your Body Safe. 3. What You Do at the Barre, Prepares You to Dance in the Center of the Floor. (Our habits and our pursuits prepare us or detract us from our our life’s work, our dance. Consider your preparations wisely.). #dance #ballet #harlem #harlemstage #mistycopeland #dancersworld #dancersofinstagram #lifelonglearners #dancer #Dancenthusiast #dancenthusiast #danceoflife #harlemnyc #nyc #nycdance #dancing #danceteachers #dancestudents #teacherlife #teachersrule #alwayslearning (at Harlem Stage)

What we learned last week on The Dance Enthusiast @dancenthusiast: Stefanie Batten Bland artistic director and choreographer of @companysbb talks about transforming the idea of walls in her latest work at the LaMama Moves Fest @lamamaetc . A fellow dance enthusiast's PBS show won a third Emmy while exploring dance in our 🌃 city (check out Barefeet with Mickela Mazzolli @travelbarefeet appearing on PBS @pbs 📺 this July.) Then, we are reminded of the gifts of some of our early dance 💃🏿 pioneers who kept choreography succinct and two the point - never boring. This happened @92yharkness dance center. 😳 wow. #dance #dancers #choreography #moderndance #danceandtravel #travel #moderndancepioneers #danceoninstagram #dancersofinstagram #performance #nyc #nycdance #dancecommunity (at New York, New York)
