It’s almost time to ROLL THE BONES one last time! 🎲

Our company video project premieres this Friday February 20th at 4pm on Youtube and we couldn’t be more excited to share the magic. ✨

This piece will go down in the books for us. 🦴
I saw perform for the first time in 2015 and I’ve been waiting ever since to choreograph a piece to this song. Everything happens when it’s meant to, with the people it’s meant to be with- trusting the process is always equally humbling and rewarding. How lucky are we to dance through life together 🥲

We had an incredible run of stage performances in 2025 and couldn’t be happier to have had the chance to conceptualize it into a video project. All love to our advanced company and young company for your hearts, passion, and JOY!

Head to the link in our bio to subscribe to our channel for a reminder about the premiere. 🩵
