One of these two posters will be shipped to dance studios who sell Dancers Among Us (Workman Publishing) this fall. You can help decide which poster we select. What do you think? Click here to vote.

The video, directed by P.R. Brown (who has worked with Alicia Keys and Prince), features cameos of random New Yorkers (including at least one gay man) who Miasha met on the street and recorded dancing with her smartphone.
“People often feel vulnerable when they dance,” said Miasha. “But when people watch other people dance, they feel happy and they see beauty and honesty. I wanted to capture the diversity we have here every day and show how just by watching a stranger lose him or herself in the moment for a few seconds, we can feel that same beauty. We took a boom box to the Lower East Side, and with a tiny camera in hand, went up to 55 total strangers blasting the song, and asked them to ‘break it down.’ Of course, being in NYC, they all said yes!”

I got a little stuck on some choreography I was working on, so Bruno laid down some tap steps for me via video to help me out.
Serious paw work going on there…
Thanks pal.
Just beautiful. The movement and use of lighting is gorgeous.
A young man loses himself in his environment so that his movements reveal the world that exists in his imagination, transcending reality through his muse of dance.
