Orphanage Dance Project - Mexico Annual community dance project which investigates identity through movement and performance. Proyecto anual de baile investigando temas de la identidad.

Orphanage Dance Project began in 2015 as the MFA thesis project of Emily May. The idea behind this project has been in development since Emily lived at Hogares Infantiles Orphanage in 2001 during the adoption of her brother. She found a home in this special place and saw ways to serve her fellowman through her passion for dance. Participants engage in movement classes of all types that generate in

vestigation on identity. Movement and performance are a central focus in expression and understanding the self. We are so excited to return for the second year of this project! Orphanage Dance Project comenzó en el año 2015 como proyecto de tesis MAE de Emily May. La idea detrás de este proyecto ha estado en desarrollo desde Emily vivió en Hogares Infantiles en 2001 durante la adopción de su hermano . Ella encontró un hogar en este lugar especial y vio formas de servir a su prójimo a través de su pasión por la danza. Los participantes se involucran en varios tipos de clases de movimiento y generan investigación sobre la identidad. El movimiento y la presentacion son un foco central en la expresión y la comprensión de uno mismo. Estamos tan contentos de volver para el segundo año de este proyecto!

Today's class with Melissa Rex was rich in content, history and good vibes. It was very special to be able to have Melissa join us. She was a member of Emily May's MFA thesis committee the first year of the project. Here we are at year 7 and enjoying every moment and precious interaction. This photo captures the joy felt learning some Samba Reggae footwork. Thank you Melissa!

Today our internet connection was GREAT!! And so we danced, danced, danced!! Camille Davis Neilsen owner of U Dance Studio gave us a lively class encouraging us to let loose. Her first question after class finished was, "When can I see the kids again?!" They are extraordinary human beings and each person who has the privilege to know them is better for it.

Please join us tomorrow for a wonderful class and DONATE to support the orphanage.

Our hearts are full! Dancing and connecting with these exceptional children is a gift! Our internet connection was poor (please pray for a good connection throughout the project) and then children eventually had to cram into a small room inside. But, their exceptional attitudes, efforts and smiles were beaming examples that there are many things we cannot control but we can determine how we react and respond. An hour after class they shared a video in which they had practiced the dance to the best of their memory, adapted it and made it theirs. Absolutely brilliant!

Join us tomorrow! Donate and connect with these amazing humans!
