"Greed" | a STORY Told Through DANCE

**IMPORTANT READ BELOW**
Hey guys! First & foremost, I hope you guys liked the video & were left inspired!!!!
Second, we didn't want to choreograph ANOTHER dance video, we wanted to tell a STORY. Something different. Something challenging. So.... we decided to add a rope in the picture!
The reason we decided to call this piece, "Greed" is because throughout the dance, we are fighting to defeat the greed between us while dealing with the temptation of things that give us temporary happiness. There are a ton of pros/cons that come with a relationship, but when is too much? Too much to the point that it creates an internally unhealthy self. So when you add "abuse" to the picture, how do you get out of it?! Arn't you held back by the thought of the happiness/positives of the relationship that came before any abuse?
We feel a ton of people can relate to this story and we hope to inspire those who are in a scenario like this, that you CAN defeat it!!! Sooooo when Jade throws the rope on me & walks away, this is her defeating that greed and finally building the courage to say goodbye to what came with that relationship, abuse.
* DANCERS:
- Josh Killacky ( @josh_killacky )
- Jade Chynoweth ( @jadebug98 )
* FILM:
- David Moore ( @davidmooretv )
*SONG:
- "Weight In Gold" (Ekali remix) by Gallant
BEHIND THE SCENES & HOW WE CREATED THE VIDEO COMING VERY VERY SOON!
*** Funny thing is, Jade and I choreographed this piece in about 3 hour, in between another gig! With our mindset/ storyline being on the same page, we got a studio from basically 11-2am, red bull energy drink game strong, and out came this magic! The reason I believe Jade & I dance so well together is because we are both feeding off one another energy, at the same time adding our acting into the choreography to help create a whole different level of commitment! Its a true pleasure dancing beside one another!!

She was stronger than him because he needed her. She didn't need him.

[@kebblot9085]

Woah, you just gave me a new prospective on this...

[@Lilylove2001]

I mean I get were you got the idea, but at 1:29 you could clearly see that he was to controlling and since she saw later on what he was doing she left him.

[@mckensismith6798]

Let's just appreciate the camera man for a minute...

[@ashleyviso6070]

Lol hes probably stronger than they are from running around them with the camera

[@yessicapalma3013]

Lol u right tho

[@piantoart2199]

Yeah it's like he danced with them

[@danicaseymore1047]

I think he was on a hoverboard. It showed it in the behind the scenes and I think it was on jade’s channel or something

[@celestemoreno4030]

He’s the main person

[@ovrmya]

7 years later and this is still absolutely amazing.. like wow, im speechless. this is the type of dances i love, tells a story and full with emotion

[@emakua5]

1:25 to 1:40 was just BREATHTAKING. This piece was beautiful!!

[@foolishdonut]

I didn't realize until i clicked this and watched it again but this part is like he's controlling her. I don't know maybe I'm wrong.......

[@harrypottersnumbrfan]

@@foolishdonut I believe you are correct

[@lizmojica9562]

I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING!! (I know im late btw)

[@kimchi_4870]

The part when he's moving his hand. She's following his every move to make him happy. Just wow.

[@RosieBrownie]

THESE CAN'T BE HUMAN!!! 😲😍😍😍😍😲 I don't even know what to say. Speechless is an understatement... And OMG Is that Jade Chynoweth she has grown soo much!!!❤

[@denisemattingly7389]

I was wondering the same thing!! Is that jade chynoweth?

[@cristianmorgan2012]

but he's gay. So no

[@sorayahp3169]

Cristian Morgan he isn't gay BC he was describing what he looks for in a GIRL

[@sorayahp3169]

Cristian Morgan if he gay,he wouldn't be able to tell what he looks for in a girl ,he would have to tell what he looks for in a boy. so yeah he's not gay

[@cristianmorgan2012]

Honey I'm gay. If I say he's gay, he's gay. Ricky Martin made a career of singing for women and dating super models and well, he's gonna marry a guy soon. Besides, what's wrong with being gay?

[@sorayahp3169]

Nothing wrong with being gay. If ur gay then good for u but in not gonna be against gay people be that's just messed up. But my opinion u don't think he's gayCristian Morgan

[@hannardee]

I'm so happy that I got the meaning of the dance right. I was thinking that they were being greedy with each other but loving each other at the same time. It looked like they were struggling with each other and with the things they were doing or want to do. I think I kinda got it right.

[@victorianaboyd8721]

Yeah, to my perspective it's an unhealthy relationship where they are both suffering but cannot put themselfs to leave until the woman relizes she is stronger than his grip and steps away. Love can be very painful and others use tension as an excuse but once you find your own light, it won't matter how deciving the other partner is. It's a truly fantastic dance, full of superlative emotion and connection

[@Originalmusicgirly]

@@victorianaboyd8721 Thats such a strong statement. Although its true, this dance expresses just what you have said.

[@itsmadfar]

I'm watching this video six years after your post. Stunning! It's super hard to believe that you choreographed this piece in three hours! Looks like you read each other's mind, intuiting movement before it happened! That 's typically the product of years of partnership. Technical mastery, incredible synchrony + total emotional presence! Yes, disturbing in parts, but real. Riveting!

[@arisofetch1527]

YASSS I LOVE WHEN MY TWO FAV DANCERS DANCE TOGETHER 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@yahyah7403]

Octavia Simpson agreed now I want my money

[@katerinakrd5021]

So why is nobody talking about the fact that this was choreographed in 3 hours and was filmed at midnight!?

[@koh406]

This piece reminds me of a book or movie or show that you watch over and over because you find something fascinating or beautiful about it every time, this is the 3rd time I've watched this piece today and probably 17th time this week...and it simply gets more beautiful

[@ArtsyShayyy]

I literally liked the video before I watched it and red the description😂😂

I have watched the other one when you guys were on the stage and that showing was amazing. This POV kind of version of the dance gives off a lot more emotion to it. Absolutely amazing.

[@_namasteshay]

Lexie Cooper where can I find that?

[@aaliyahdavis9341]

I watched that video like 100 times. Its soo outstanding. The message, the dancing, everything.

[@mandylee2898]

One of my favorite pieces to this day . Both these artists have gone through so many changes since five years ago it’s hard to believe this was five years ago but it is ageless art enduring GREATNESS thru time

[@sydneybell45]

i always come back to this video and it never fails to amaze me or tug on my heart strings. this is phenomenal

[@natty2834]

Same!! I searched all over for this video

[@Jay4eva]

I dont even have words. Im speechless...You would think that they cant top their live performance at Willdabeasts event, but they managed to do it! These guys are truly beasts! I cant believe you made this in 3 hours and you know what i am so touched by this number. I havent stopped watching it. Both of you are blessed with your creativity and only bigger and better things ahead for you both! Look forward to the next time you dance together because this magic is truly unbelievable to watch!

[@alanacaudle7509]

Checkin for ppl watching in 2024. Still gives chills

[@heatherlauture8056]

Powerful to this day. Thank you Josh & Jade. This doesn't just speak to the greed betweeen a man and a woman. But the greed fight within us to hold in what we have or to give it away for others and oursleves. Blessing upon blessings. ymih.

[@RaphaelGarcia]

Had to revisit this one! It's incredible how far you've come as a dancer, choreographer, & artist man... Your hard work shows & I couldn't be happier for you! Keep reppin' the Chicago area well!

[@ashmash467]

I love Jade! She’s an incredible dancer and tells stories so well through dance.

[@KylaAdams14]

Such a deep story and amazing performance!! Just wonderful. Keep it up guys!

[@Wolphy03]

The more I watch this video the more I find it breath-taking. We can see the control in every moves to create a fascinating effect while telling a story. What a beautiful artwork! 👏🏻

[@m-5089]

Wow this hit me hard. Such a powerful and inspiring piece. I never thought a dance could get me so emotional and it's not even my first time watching it! I always find stories told through dance and art the most interesting and effective because everyone can draw their own message from them. I may not be in the same exact situation you showed but I was able to relate it to something I'm going through and made me see things from a different light. I'm seriously beyond proud of you and jade! I've watched the both of you for a few years now and it's amazing to watch you grow. I'm so happy to see you get recognition for your hard work and dedication. No doubt you guys have years of success coming your way! ♡♡

[@Soekiez_Rose]

This was beautiful. I felt all the emotions being portrayed. I hardly ever, in my personal capacity, understand stories when it comes to dance but i got this the first time. Wow!

[@iamgoingtomakepastaoutofyo2635]

I've watched the other one, but I definitely love this POV. 😍 Ya guys slay so much.

[@TheInspiredCapture]

this is brilliant...the little dust particles, the camera motion, the dancing...all of it came together so well. Thanks for inspiring! Now i want to make a concept video

[@Leto85]

How incredible! All these moves represent hours of practice. And they fit so well with the music. The backdrop of the night sky city and the greyish empty room make the two dancers stand out perfectly.
