  • Thanks Philly! A quick three day stop for the beginning of the International Association of Blacks in Dance @iabdinc and @philadanco to celebrate the company's 50th Anniversary - this post is my last trip to Philly in 2016 when I was commissioned to create a full length ballet, 'Between The Lines' for my alma mater 🙏🏾❤️ Great memories in Philly going all the way back to 1998 when I was hired as a company member. #franciscogelladance #moderndance #dance #ballet #choreography

  • This is me and next to me is a legend. This year Joan Myers Brown is celebrating the 60th anniversary of her school Philadelphia School of Dance Arts and the 50th anniversary of @PHILADANCO. Growing up having to fight for everything to be able to dance, she decided that she would do her part to open up opportunities to black dancers. Decades later she has mentored and influenced thousands of dancers. As someone she took a chance on in 1998 when she hired me for her company, I am one of those. This remarkable woman is a mom to me and she taught me about more than being a great dancer (although she did that too for sure) - to also be a person of integrity and so much more. My work ethic is in good part what it is today because of what she modeled to me. The last two photos (swipe over) are included because JB taught me that none of us are too good to do any job. She taught me the dignity of work. She taught me to respect everyone regardless of what position or job they hold. So it's extra special this week to be able to spend a few days in Philadelphia honoring her at the International Association of Blacks in Dance. God bless you. 🙏🏾❤️ #franciscogelladance
