We're here today
on a gorgeous Saturday morning
in the Meatpacking District
right in front of the Standard Hotel.
We're going to be doing a performance.
It's the culmination of a seven-week-long
residency by the STREB
Extreme Action Dance Company
at the LGBT center on West 13th Street.
.
Members of the company
have been working with young people
through the youth enrichment
services division over at the center
and taught them
their PopAction techniques
and actually collaboratively
choreographed this piece,
so it's the world premier.
.
I was originally part of a dance group
called No Agenda, and my teacher there
had told me to go try out STREB
because our dance group had ended.
So I gave it a try, and it turned out
to be something really amazing.
Like, I enjoy myself so much.
And today at the show,
I was having so much fun.
I went all-out.
It was like high-energy all the time.
