When the whole stage hit that parallel attitude turn out of that butterfly in that last slide, for a brief second it felt like the ceiling lifted off the place. Proud mother moment. 💜

Thank you to the most beautiful cast for the fastest, most fun, most crazy, but most enjoyable process. There was a trust & lightness in the room that made everything feel seamless. You showed up, you listened, you locked in, you laughed, you got it, & you carried this with so much care. This only worked because of who you are as humans, not just dancers. You healed me in ways you aren’t aware of. I love you all more than you know. 💜🥹

Thank you to @ebufferd & YCF for choosing us be a 3x guest. I’m forever grateful to YCF and thankful for our ongoing relationship. Congrats to ALL on an amazing night of work ! 🫶🏻

Thank you to NY for welcoming us back with open arms. Your reaction to this piece will always fill my heart to the top. We are always honored to perform on the Joyce stage and treasure every second in that deeply special venue. There’s no place like home. 🙏🏻 🍎

To my big brother, @justinbaldoni, this was for us.
This piece lives in the moment when someone finally sees the weight you’ve been holding, everyone you’ve been protecting, & makes you feel safe enough to loosen your grip & put the sword down. I didn’t know what it felt like to be protected like that before you. Your protection didn’t make me smaller ; it gave me access to parts of myself I hadn’t been able to live in. Because real safety doesn’t take the sword away ; it lets you set it down when you need to, & pick it back up for who & what matters, knowing someone has your back with their own blade. You have been that for me in ways I don’t even have language for ; the one who sees me not for what I give, but for what I carry. And especially after everything these past 3 years have asked of you, this is me reminding you that you don’t have to do it alone either. I love you. 💜

It’s that time of year again, when we search for our next Michael McArthur DREAM Scholarship recipient !☁️

In loving memory of former @marinspired Storyteller, our beloved Michael McArthur, we provide full tuition to one accepted dancer at each NY Volume. 💜

If you are interested in applying for the Volume 11:11 Michael McArthur DREAM Scholarship, please email us a 2–3 minute solo video as well as a 650 word essay on the topic, “Who Am I Without an Audience ?”

In your essay, reflect on who you are when there is no applause, no spotlight, and no external validation. Who are you when the light fades ? Are you loyal to the people who shaped you when it is no longer convenient ? Do you show gratitude to those who invested their time, belief, and resources in you ? Are you willing to stand up for what is right ethically, even if it means sacrificing being liked ? Do your words match your actions, or are you wearing a mask for approval ? When relationships become challenging, do you work through them with integrity, or do you leave when it gets hard ? Are your relationships within the industry transactional or filled with substance ? Do you see feedback and investment as an attack or belief and inspiration ?

We are not searching for perfection, we’re searching for character. This scholarship honors the dancer whose integrity remains intact long after the applause fades. The artists who last are not just gifted ; they’re grounded, accountable, and anchored in integrity. ⚓️

To be considered, you must also have completed your application. All submissions must be in by February 28th. Recipient will be selected and announced on acceptance day, March 2nd.

Selection Panel includes : @sheilabarker629 @tommytoes7 @marinspirations & Michael’s mother, Lisa Osborne. 🫶🏻

It’s that time of year again, when we search for our next Michael McArthur DREAM Scholarship recipient !☁️

In loving memory of former @marinspired Storyteller, our beloved Michael McArthur, we provide full tuition to one accepted dancer at each NY Volume. 💜

If you are interested in applying for the Volume 11:11 Michael McArthur DREAM Scholarship, please email us a 2–3 minute solo video as well as a 650 word essay on the topic, “Who Am I Without an Audience ?”

In your essay, reflect on who you are when there is no applause, no spotlight, and no external validation. Who are you when the light fades ? Are you loyal to the people who shaped you when it is no longer convenient ? Do you show gratitude to those who invested their time, belief, and resources in you ? Are you willing to stand up for what is right ethically, even if it means sacrificing being liked ? Do your words match your actions, or are you wearing a mask for approval ? When relationships become challenging, do you work through them with integrity, or do you leave when it gets hard ? Are your relationships within the industry transactional or filled with substance ? Do you see feedback and investment as an attack or belief and inspiration ?

: What I love most about @siennaspiro (and there’s a LOT) is the way she captures the kind of inbalanced love that’s all in on one side and half in on the other. The heartbreak of “I’d take a thousand bullets for you,” met with a shrug of indifference. I have felt this in so many different forms this year (and I know so many other have too) and my assistant/@marinspired company member @jakepcraig captured the emotion of it all so authentically. Jakey, you are pure magic. 🪄

Thank you @stepsonbroadway for having me and thank you to all the dancers in that room who gave so much and reminded me that this kind of art and magic can’t be bought, because it has to be cultivated in a place that lacks fear. And that room was fearless and flying !

: This is my Advanced Improv class @thestorytellersintensive. There is a distinct and often misunderstood art to improvisation in dance. Improv done correctly, is truly an intricate alchemy of instinct, musicality, trust, storytelling, and courage. It is not just the absence of structure ; it is the mastery of responsiveness. It demands the dancer listen with their entire being ; to the body, the music, the space, the partner, and the unspoken narrative within. In this space, we explore how to make intentional choices in real time, how to surrender control without losing clarity. How to speak without words, viscerally, vulnerably, and with purpose through movement that is both fleeting and deeply honest. To reach this kind of raw truth requires more than talent. It requires an environment built on safety, trust, and mutual respect. I’m forever grateful to facilitate that kind of space.

@marinspired apprentice @francescojadamo volunteered, he was asked to pick a dancer, (he selected marinspired company member @jocelynmastro), i told them the prompt and pressed play. and then came the magic. 🪄

Prompt : Explore the ache of unreciprocated connection. One gives everything reaching with openness, with hope, with love, while the other stays closed. You cannot hold someone who won’t hold you back. There is no grasp, only release. Let the movement live in the space between generosity and abandonment.
Ask yourself : What does it cost to keep your hands open when no one takes them ? How do you move with someone who won’t stay ? And what remains when love becomes surrender, not safety ?
