Times Square

I remember dancing in Times Square when the Ailey school was here. It was much different then, not very family friendly. It is funny how memory works. I have so many images of seeing and being in Times Square and a lot of those memories come rushing through my mind right now.

Herald Square

Other than the song "Give my regards to Broadway" I never paid much attention to Herald Square but as I walked around NYC the song was in my head and the dance was in my heart.

34th Street NYC

Click to Play

I arrived in NYC at Penn Station. There are of course many landmarks in the area, Madison Square Garden, Macy's, Empire State Building and places that have meaning to me for different reasons. As I walked down the street I remembered the many conversations I had with different people over the years, the hotels I stayed in, and the experiences I had. I stopped for a moment to dance as I was having all of these thoughts.

Train

David Morneau sent me a composition he calls Say What and low and behold if there was not a great big statue of Confucius that plopped down in the middle of the George Mason University campus. I decided to explore what Confucius said through movement.

Todd Newseum and 60 Minutes

Click to Play

Ok so I was listening to David Morneau's 60x365 and Todd was around the corner and he said that is what you should have used for my dance. I told him that it was not Friday and I only do music with David on Friday. Todd insisted and I thought it worked pretty well. So here is Todd at the Newseum with a composition by David Morneau.

Todd Newseum

Todd and I went down to the Newseum the night before it opened on Friday and flimed some dances. I really loved the Newseum. I went there on opening day and would certainly pay the $20 admission fee or the $75 yearly fee to see it again and again. The news is timeless. Todd does a double solo for you.
