Watching dancers perform, for me, is like watching video shot from the seat of a rollercoaster: I get so into the movement it almost feels like I'm moving too.
Did you get pulled into the video too? It's footage (no pun intended) of the INCEPTION Dance Theater, a contemporary ballet company in residence at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
Their mission is to tell stories using original musical compositions and choreography. The dance company places a great deal of emphasis on openness and collaboration. One example of their inclusive efforts: open classes for professional-level dancers, Tuesday through Saturday.
And the open classes are free (always a good thing if you're a cash-strapped artist).
If you're more comfortable in the audience than on stage, good news!
You can support INCEPTION by attending their fundraiser gala in January. Details:

The word "inception" refers to beginnings. It'll be interesting to see what kind of roller coaster ride the audience goes on with INCEPTION.
