robbinschilds' for your dance education dose! Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs have been making work together as friends and collaborators since 2003. Their work combines not only movement and dance, but a beautiful and powerful investigation of how movement can inhabit visual art and video. They travel all over the world collaborating with artists to make site specific video and photography pieces that contain vibrant color, texture and sound, as well as their own fascinating and transformative selves. These works often make their way onto the stage to accompany live performance or into galleries to be shown as stand-alone visual art. Their work is magical, powerful, subtle and incredibly beautifully. Keep your eyes peeled for must see performances and showings by these two lovely ladies. Both Layla and Sonya are mothers who live in Brooklyn!

Congratulations Ryan and Sia!

Ever-inspiring Ryan Heffington choreographed Sia's most recent video Chandelier and WON the VMA for best choreography! Ryan not only performs and choreographs his own work, he also owns and runs a dance studio called the Sweat Spot. If you are ever in LA, go to Silverlake and take SWEATY SUNDAYS CLASS! (you will be SO happy we sent you his way!)
