About
DANCE LIKE DAVID is is an arts & culture documentary series that highlights dancers and dance professionals that give back to their communities. These artists have touched me in special ways, and others through their giving spirits.
The concept of the show stems from my personal background of having an array of medical issues as a child. Dance was my spirit medicine that kept me going. Whether it was Ben Vereen and Debbie Allen on television, or a local dancer showing me moves, it was a lifeline.
I wanted to highlight a few minority dancers that go unnoticed in many cases and thank them for being givers. One is a legend, a few are famous professional dancers /choreographers, others are community dancers, teachers and studio owners that have overcome the odds' of life.
I sit down with them in person or on the web (during the Covid-19 Pandemic) and they explain their journey with dance. For once, we get to hear the dancer's voice. We also have some mini-highlights of some dancers as well.
Dancers are the hardest working and least paid on the professional totem pole in the entertainment industry. We salute them.
This is a unique project because each documentary episode will also serve as a historic archive of these creators in motion. Whether it’s from direct information from the artist or a trivia question, the information will enlighten you of the achievements and contributions through the journeys of these inspirational dancers
Each one-hour episode will highlight 1 to 4 artists. There are video clips and photos that contribute to their amazing stories.
