Words from Bethany... "Choreographing for me is never an easy process because I am very indecisive and a perfectionist. I am coming to embracing my freestyling process to aid me in creating concrete movement and becoming comfortable in trial and error. I make it a priority for my dancers to feel as comfortable with the movement and understand/see the story as I see it. I as a visionary am learning to be flexible bur also sure of myself. Growing up as a dancer, I didn’t feel like I had a space to be free, so I pride myself in having an open & fun space where my dancers experience freedom, ask questions, crake jokes, and have laughs." About her newest project (Trailer 2 can be found on our igtv)... In 2017, Bethany Keren-Happuch wrote a "Why Statement" sort of like a mission statement for her work. "I want to create a place where freedom is found, dialogue is created, and passion is discovered." As the daughter and niece of a videographer & photographer, she's always been into production and visuals. Instead of being disappointed at a failed opportunity, she chose to take her best friends advice and make what was going to be a full length production, a visual. After 5 months of planning, thinking, crying, 1 month of shooting, and 3 months of editing...the final product is The Freestyle Project. • • • • • • • • • • • Tag your favorite choreographers or DM us your favorite video of their work! #jump4joy #danceislife #welovemelanin #danceislimitless #laamid4life #love #life #dancing #choreography #flexibility #flexible #dancehall #dancelife #dancingmachine #dancefloor #dance #danceparty #dancemom #fun #dancers #ballet #dancingqueen #flex #dancer #dancers #instadance #danceislife #welovemelanin #danceislimitless #laamid4life

Words from Yancy Greene... "I like to think of myself as just simply an artist. Someone who expresses their feelings through their outlet. Mine happens to be through choreography and videography anything you can see visually actually. Kind of like a painter with a paint brush. I want the world or someone to see my visual journal entries and relate if they can and say hey I felt like that before! Or hey this helped put the words I couldn’t say in other physical formats. I’m really into releasing conceptual videos. That’s what’s kind of been my obsession now. Putting my feelings or ideas in videos and using myself as a muse in a sort. For the future everyone can look forward to seeing more content from me such as in my visual stories and concept videos and some works I’ll be choreographing that you can all come out to see. I’m currently the in house stylist and guest choreographer for Art of Legohn. You can catch some of my work at Art of Leghon’s Urban Burlesque shows throughout the year. All of which would be mention on all of my media outlets and I’m sure will be a wonderful treat." • • • • • • • • • • • Tag your favorite choreographers or DM us your favorite video of their work! #danceislife #welovemelanin #danceislimitless #laamid4life #love #life #dancing #choreography #flexibility #flexible #dancehall #dancelife #dancingmachine #dancefloor #dance #danceparty #dancemom #fun #dancers #ballet #dancingqueen #flex #dancer #dancers #instadance #danceislife #welovemelanin #danceislimitless #laamid4life
