The Movement

The Movement

Women are often judged by their appearance-by their bodies, by their skin color, by their sexuality. This video series for Elle Magazine celebrates women and their bodies through the expression of dance. In this new series, we will hear the stories of dancers who have seen the light--women who have overcome adversity and struggle and through it all wish to simply dance with reckless abandon.
