Tomorrow, April and I will leave to represent the =ibrium Dance Project at the Dance in the Mitten Festival in Michigan.  We will be performing “Open”, a duet that is very close to my heart.

This piece was choreographed just two years ago.  But in that time it’s been a part of many shows.  I was fortunate enough to set it on the beautiful Amanda and Charise (shown in the video of a studio run in 2011 ). Then I had the pleasure of dancing it with Charise myself, and now for the second time with the lovely April.

This performance with April is particularly special because this woman just graduated from Ball State!  She is one of the fabulous dance majors I’ve watched grow and become an amazing artist over the last 3 years I’ve been at Ball State.  I’m honored to share the stage with this talented young woman!
