Dance is the thing I’ve been doing since I was 4. I would hide in the bathroom a lot during warm up because I was always the least flexible dude in the room. Being a dancer is kind of stressful. I’m constantly paying attention to how I walk, checking in with my alignment to make sure I don’t roll my foot or ankle in a certain direction. I have always been too scared to go skiing or snowboarding, being terrified of injury. So in a sense, dance kind of limits me. But really, when I dance, I am totally limitless. I fall more in love with this art form all the time. At @stepsonbroadway , at @momenyc , at @bdcnyc , doing my self tapes at @openjarstudios , creating @dancemonologues ... it all charges my spirit in ways deeper than my poetry can, deeper than a good J can, deeper than a talk with a friend can. I express and work through ideas I would never be able to articulate without it. I am so grateful to have it still, and to have it always. Happy #nationaldanceday even though there are always like 7 of these and I never know if it really is the day 🫶🏻
