the ending image from my piece 'Tell me it was beautiful', premiered by @mutualdance

this duet that ends the piece was centered around the idea of having a conversation with someone you know you won't see again for a long time, perhaps forever. i wanted to draw out the anxiety to end a relationship with love, the unspoken frustrations and confusions that come with saying goodbye. and as you go through this drama, the rest of the world observes and goes on as usual

Sharing a quick moment from this beautiful time bringing my duet “Velvet” to life with dancers @natattax and @jacobxglen 🔥 endlessly proud of what we shared and cannot wait for the next time we get to dive back into this work ! More soon 🖤

a dream to be in the room working with these incredible dancers @natattax and @jacobxglen getting ready to present my duet this weekend at @cre8dance.inc in Pittsburgh! ✨🔥

Thank you for capturing these moments @andersonedasilva_

one of my favorite moments from my work 'Tell me it was beautiful' created for @mutualdance which premiered last weekend!!!

i've thought for years that two necessary elements of 'beauty' are subversion and completion. to go beyond 'pretty' and into 'beauty', there needs to be an element of the unexpected that resolved in a satisfying way. and no matter how many times i've seen it, the way the groups form, move, and dissolve in this section gives me that sense of surprise within completion.

all that is to say i'm really proud of this work and i hope you enjoy it!!! 😅

Registration deadline extended to JUNE 1!

Join Nat Wilson for a workshop exploring FoCo Technique™ and the development of solo choreography, June 8-12 at City Dance Studios, San Francisco. This workshop is part of THE HATCHERY, a summer incubator series by @thetraininggroundsf.

FoCo Technique™ is an original and evolving dance vocabulary created by choreographer and artistic director of YYDC, Yue Yin. Echoing her choreographic voice, the technique is a unique contemporary form of dance movement rooted in Chinese classical and folk dance, melded with the complex and diverse influences of the immigrant experience. The form grows from Yin’s own blended international background and a deep appreciation for precision, contrast, fluidity, and musicality.

Info and registration available at thetraininggroundsf.com (link in bio)

🎥 IMOD Feature: @dgenshaft | 📍San Francisco, CA

IMOD is the modern museum that connects every move — because dance belongs to everyone.

Watch how @dgenshaft brings a lifetime of artistry to the present moment:

1. Foundation & Discipline — Training at Kirov Academy, School of American Ballet, and Paris Opera Ballet School shaped the precision and clarity behind every movement. This is where excellence begins. @sfballet @balletoperadeparis @sab_nyc

2. Performance & Range — From SF Ballet stages to iconic works by Ashton, Wheeldon, Morris, and more, she embodies versatility — moving seamlessly between classical, contemporary, and theatrical roles.

3. Legacy & Leadership — After retiring in 2015, she shifted her focus to mentorship and direction. Now as Artistic Director of @sfdanceworks, she’s building platforms for today’s dancers while honoring the craft’s evolution.

Featuring: @sfdanceworks “A Measurable Existence” (Season 8), choreographed by Yue Yin, with Ja’Moon Jones @thedancingspirit_ and Nat Wilson @natattax — a reflection of continued innovation and collaboration.

🎧 Listen to our podcast: Dana on MODPOD, *“The Path from Ballerina to Artistic Director”* by @jamieraywright

This is why we dance. This is why we watch. This is why IMOD exists.
