A Danse4Nia Correction

Dear Editor,

I would like to correct some errors stated in Kariamu Welsh’s recent review of Danse4Nia’s concert on Sunday, November 6th. Danielle Currica did not perform with us in this concert. Though she often serves as our guest artist, she was not with us on November 6th. Also, the order of the show was Caged; Better to Have Loved; Descending, Ascending; and Standing in My Skin. I sincerely appreciate that Ms. Welsh attended our performance and chose to review us, but I just wanted to address these inaccuracies.

Many thanks,
Sara Nye

Variety and Conformity in Community Work

Zoe Farnsworth

The enthusiasm and community were vibrant, but the choreography left me wanting more at Philly Dance Day's 2026 Showcase

Several lines of students are mid bounce/step, focused on executing the choreography. All face front toward a wall lined with mirrors. The instructor stands in the middle of the front row of dancers. Participants wear a variety of athletic wear–workout sweats, tanks, shorts, long-sleeve zip ups–and most dance in sneakers.

A witch, some kitsch, and a theory walk into a book

On Liz Lerman’s "Shape and Momentum"

Nia Love, Vincent Thomas, Miko Doi-Smith, Paloma McGregor, Will Bond, Leah Cox, Elisa García Radcliffe, and Ruby Morales in Wicked Bodies at Arizona State University, Gammage (2022). Organized in three staggered lines atop individual black stools, (three dancers, two dancers, three dancers), the performers each assume a “superman” position on their stomachs, back muscles taught as arms and legs lift off. The dancers wear an array of costumes (billowing pants, structured blazer, expansive gauzy skirt, a polka dot jumper) in shades of black, white, fuchsia, and red. Collectively, they cast their gaze stage left, the direction of their “flight” as haze descends over the top ⅔ of the stage height.
