  • Why rushing left us feeling empty

    We're back with the latest on our dance company's behind-the-scenes action. Here's what we've been up to:

    • "City Lights" shoot this Sunday: We're filming at a train set and Echo Park, transforming our stage performance for the screen. We're excited but a bit worried about potential issues with security at the public park.
    • Project delays and reshoots: We're pushing back our film dates. Instead of rushing everything in July, we're now doing one project per month. Our recent shoot on June 30th didn't meet our standards, so we're planning a reshoot for November 30th.
    • Patreon content: We filmed new reactions this week, though we faced some scheduling delays. We've started work on "Be Ambitious," a Street Man Fighter prequel, exclusive to Patreon. New YouTube reactions featuring Nyan and Beanie are coming soon.
    • Upcoming performance: We're dancing at the Mixed Match Dance Festival in Santa Monica in about three weeks. We'll perform "Unstoppable" from our Universal Rhythm show. We'll share ticket info as soon as we have it.
    • More in the works: We're planning to film "Unstoppable" for our dance film and shoot new podcast content soon.
    This journey of building our dance company has its ups and downs, but we're committed to sharing it all with you. We appreciate your support and interest in these updates. Stay tuned for more as we navigate the challenges and celebrate the wins in our dance world.
