i’m nearing 9 months teaching at @bdcnyc… and we have a weekly slot loading!! this journey has unfolded before my eyes in ways i could’ve never imagined. here’s a low res accumulation of all but 1 of the classes we’ve had together since june (in chronological order!)

Featuring Destiny Nguyen at DIFFRACTION Dance Festival 2026.

Destiny Nguyen (she/they) is a Brooklyn-based dancer, choreographer, and educator. After receiving their BFA from Temple University, they emerged into the commercial and concert dance scenes in Philadelphia and New York City.

Destiny has worked with choreographers including Kenichi Kasamatsu and David Cartahena Lee, and currently teaches at Broadway Dance Center. Their work has been presented at venues across NYC including The Craft, The Tank, Arts on Site, Alpha Omega, PMT, and 3 Dollar Bill, as well as in cities such as Philadelphia, New Haven, Boulder, Atlanta, and Boston.

Through an innovative approach that merges contemporary, street styles, improvisation, and concert dance, Destiny creates work that challenges traditional performance spaces and explores how dance can exist as both movement and community.

Catch Destiny live at DIFFRACTION, one of New York City’s only AAPI+ dance festivals bringing together artists across hip hop, waacking, jazz, contemporary, and more under one stage during AAPI Heritage Month.

Artists are traveling from California, Washington DC, New Jersey, and beyond to be part of this year’s festival.

🕑 Show starts at 2PM
📍 Mark Morris Dance Center – Duffy Theater Brooklyn, NY

Tickets are on sale now (link in bio).

ooooo we got a lil dramaticccc 🥀

“heartbeat” at our april pop up with some incredible and amazing artists 😭🫀 kept the raw audio in so u can hear my real time reactions hahah. i mean CMONNNNN

i definitely lean towards more technical exploration in my choreography (both repertory and teaching). this was one of the first combos i’ve made that was rooted in emotional connection to music. considering… what is sasha talking about? how can the movement i choose embody THAT? as opposed to, how my chosen movement can embody the textures, timbre and dynamics of the sounds themselves, which is where i usually land. if you are familiar with my style / classes, you know we do a lot of listening here 👂🧠 , always with the option of listening here 🫀, but i wanted to approach this one with the heart first. i let that guide the chosen movement sequence (aka choreo lol)

all this to say, progress and the journey are so non linear. when you feel yourself going in one direction, you may unexpectedly be up and going in another in a moments notice, informed by inspiration struck by a song you listened to for the first time on the downtown A train from 59th st lololol. we can’t try to be in too much control of what we do and how, just in control of how we listen.

“heartbeat” this week @bdcnyc 🌱

being an artist who can witness such amazing art is truly a gift🫀 ACT II is a masterpiece from top to bottom. more flowers for this album 💐💽

let’s do this one again! i’ll refine it, finish the phrase, teach it better(!) and we will have lots of time to groove and feel and share 🥹
^sliding scale pop up class: next thurs 4/30 4-6pm :)^

class de_mos with @kenichi.kasamatsu - one of my fav things i get to do (keep up with ken)

i think this is one of my fav ken combos (and i’ve done so many lolol). march was a MONTH omg. i experienced an extremeeeee abundance of all facets of life, and depths of emotion on all ends of all spectrums in ways i was not prepared for (joy, stress, exhaustion, jubilee, creative fervor, grief, love). anyway, this week in particular was very emotionally/spiritually heavy. we had all just received the news of sam’s passing, hearts heavy to varying degrees, some craving community and time spent around our loved ones especially in the dance space. i remember having a super soft heart the afternoon of this class spent with ken prepping and thinking, is it weird to keep pushing on? why should we continue work as usual? i was also teaching that evening at bdc.. and amidst a really in depth process creating and directing an elements set with @charchk__. sometimes life shocks us and requires us to pause for moments, ground ourselves and move forward with reminders of why we do what we do and how we can show up to life honoring that. i feel this combo encompasses the scope of feelings i had in those days, mostly catharsis but also comfort🫀

one of our phrases from february 🍯

1) feb pop up class, dancing with @r_sohmer - this was taken in the first eerily quiet hours of the big snow storm. it was such a comforting and warm space to share with a really sweet group of people. thank you to everyone who came out to this one and braved the weather to and from the studio 🥹

2) @bdcnyc with @gunner_tropeau, @lindseygarnhart and @a.bhilashb - my second class of my first guest slot at bdc 😭💜 i’m so grateful that even at this stage of my journey, where we’ve built and are still building, that glimpses into a heavy building phase such as now can look like this.

lots of love for all the dancing we got to do together last month! i’m taking march slow but more to come in april 🥹 stay tuuuuned
