Dear Bare Feet™ Fans,
I just returned from Montreal, Canada where I was shooting an upcoming episode of Bare Feet™. Not only did I discover Quebecois Trad dance and music at La Grande Rencontre Festival, but I also discovered an incredible force in the dance community, France Geoffroy. France is the founder, director, and principal dancer of Corpuscule Danse, a company and school that features traditional able-bodied dancers alongside dancers with disabilities. Confined to a wheelchair herself, France led a dance class for children with disabilities, and I had the honor of experiencing this class for myself. Needless to say, the class was extremely moving for me, seeing firsthand how dance can be accessible and translated for every body. And the testimonials I heard from parents on how this class has changed their children's lives was overwhelming! Stay tuned for this incredibly moving and exhilarating episode.
Keep dancing!
