A little rehearsal fun from the cast of “I AM, WE ARE”, choreographed by senior dance major Allison Rose. It is a choreographic piece about exploring movement as medicine. Transforming pain into power. The dancers start by sharing their story then explore self love and the seven chakras. It ends by sharing energy with the audience. This piece is an experience waiting to happen and I hope you leave feeling refreshed and inspired. We are so ready to offer this dance to you all and hope to see you soon! GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!
