Salsa, Figure Skating, Native Dance, Lindy Hop & More | If Cities Could Dance

#DanceFilm #dancecompilation
Our dance. Our moves. Our history. #IfCitiesCouldDance, a dance documentary series, is BACK for a fifth season! This season, meet dynamic movement artists representing San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Sacramento, Tucson, Phoenix, Austin, and Columbus - as they share intergenerational stories of creativity and resilience, and blaze new paths for younger generations of dancers. For the season premiere, we travel to Washington, D.C. to meet Joel Savary, figure skater, coach and founder of Diversify Ice, introducing the art form to youth of color and connecting them to BIPOC Olympians who’ve broken through the exclusive, predominantly white competitive circuit. In California’s capital city of Sacramento, Taiko master Tiffany Tamaribuchi, founder of North America's first all-women taiko ensemble, Jo-daiko, shares her love for the Japanese percussive art form that includes elements of martial arts and dance, and her passion to create more opportunities for women.
In the American Southwest, we meet Tucson dancers using a fusion of dance styles to tell stories of life on the US-Mexico border; and in Phoenix, the intertribal dance group Indigenous Enterprise, shares native culture and identity through dance, fashion, and film. Our season continues with a fabulous queer celebration in Austin, Texas, featuring Kueen & Queen Non-Binary Afro Latin Dance couple Angie Egea and Audrey Guerrero, who came together through their love of Latin dancing and are breaking heteronormative notions surrounding the practice of partner dances. All of these stories and more!
