Today's video comes from two, young, emerging choreographers from NY.  Neil "Dradle" Schwartz and Jared Jenkins are the perfect combination of fresh and fierce.  Their swag is original, and their dance repertoire unique.  The music is the driving force behind their choreography and their passion is the highway-seamlessly guiding them from one movement to the next.  Be on the look out for the rise of this dynamic duo, and if you're lucky enough to take class from them, do it!  You will leave energized, motivated and inspired to always do your best.  Please be advised, you must bring your A-Game!  No lazy dancers wanted-everything full out!

*Jared and Neil teach at Broadway Dance Center, Wednesdays from 9-10:30pm.

Mariinsky (formerly known as the Kirov Ballet) and American Ballet's Prima Ballerina, Diana Vishneva introduces her own dance production with Beauty in Motion.  She commissioned three highly reputable choreographers, one including Desmond Richardson, to create three modern masterpieces.  The theme being "F.L.O.W," all three pieces give the audience a different interpretation for the word.  Part one plays with the use of black light where Diana and two other dancers create animal shapes using their hands.  All the animals they make use fluid movements to travel.  Part two, mirrors line the floor to reflect Diana, making it appear as if there are two perfect figures dancing in tandem.  Finally, the third piece is reminiscent of a giant jelly fish floating and twirling its tentacles on stage.  Diana has proven herself to be a beautiful ballerina and modern dancer, and the title of this piece is only befitting for her talents.

Here is F.L.O.W, part 1 & 2:
