[Music]
[Applause]
screaming to the dance team but where we
want to we want to empower women that's
our mo mission
although D and Brad are the founders of
the dan proof it's so much more of the
unit not just about again just an
overall presence of self love
[Music]
choreography starts with a mind you
meditate on story and there are certain
pictures of just are flickering hey one
of the main things we do that clean
those would create choreography to women
personal story growing up I had no idea
about my cultural identity one day I
went to Barbados and I found that was so
much lineage not a narrative for trying
to find your specific cultural identity
but like that's the beauty is is that we
can play with different styles and you
what comes out and that's not as an
individual it feels good but in a group
buyers just thought yeah yeah
so much power comes from family cultural
traditions to find that lineage made me
feel so much more whole the Yuki story
is a story of wanting to find identity
so as choreographers we knew that we had
to make the dance diverse we
incorporated social movements both cows
lacking dancehall sob we incorporate so
many different dance styles but everyone
has their own persona one thing I loved
about dance no matter where I where I
never felt a lot when you dance there's
so much about yourself that you're
telling other people that's a different
visual for storytelling
don't take credit it's a white Christmas
yeah it is this is we don't have that I
already butter like we're sharing
holidays ah the multi cultural aspects
of New York is a huge influence on dance
New York is permission to be big New
York is permission to be expressive
it's the grime it's the grit it's the
hustle that go-go-go that makes it crazy
energy with all combined
I hope watchin do for park is ready
because anytime we perform in public one
we just like to share what we do but
then people are attracted to it and
people want to be involved and you see
it we're all born with that spark that
curiosity my goal is to just keep them
loud if this day inspires you and then
he doesn't pump inspiration back
[Music]
what does it mean to be a queen hmm
winning
right now we're in a place where we are
talking a lot about email camaraderie
women feel like if they don't fit this
mold then something's wrong with them
you're a woman and you're doing your
thing and for that reason alone you're
getting love and that's enough that's
advanced means to me just my permission
should be my inner child as an adult you
know and as an old lady so some people
go it we and means you live in your
royal regal awesome truth every day all
day
[Music]
