This piece is for lovers of jazz dance. With a catchy Christina Aguilera song, the goal was to create a piece that makes you wish you were on stage with us. Although the piece is about a love so unique no one else could compare, I also wanted to show off these badass women and show that they are the truly unique ones, and anyone who knows them or gets to watch them dance is LUCKY.

Rebirth | Defining Movement | Undefined

A chrysalis is a snapshot of a larger cycle, a symbol of transformation despite stillness, and a harbinger of rebirth. This year, Defmo explores “Chrysalis” by delving into the cyclic nature of grief, healing, and ultimately rebirth. Many Asian philosophies emphasize a non-linear view of life and death, where death is not an end but a beginning. The most tragic events in life invite us into the...

this makes me miss duke so much! defmo was most certainly my favorite group and i looked forward to seeing them at their own showcase, dance black, awaaz, mezcla, and any other show in page -- always amazing!
That's great performance! Bravo! But almost things are ok, but you should've have bollywood costumes, I mean more indian)) But the main idea and choreography are great, congratulations)))
@vacitycancity, what it seems like to me, from a choreographer's standpoint, is that they bare incorporating contemporary with Bollywood dancing, a fusion. It's becoming more popular now. Great way to explore and discover new movement that can be used in Bollywood.
just the biting shirt part. i actually like this choreo better.
