STORY BEHIND THE VID

FIND YOUR FIERCE is the name of my company and classes, but it is very much an initiative for what I believe all heels classes stand for and strive to give women - confidence and empowerment.

With this in mind, I wanted to find a way to bring some FIERCE female forces together to bring to life a powerful video that simply felt all around confident & EMPOWERING from start to finish.

Rocky was therefore a completely natural fit as the film inspiration for this video. Rocky is an ICONIC film to many but the reason for its iconic-ness stems from the fact that his story is so unbelievably inspiring, motivational and empowering. You saw him work for what he wanted and dreamed of and you witnessed him achieve it.

Having this clear vision and message in mind, I reached out to some female dance groups in Toronto with whom I have had the PRIVILEGE of working with & asked if they wouldn't mind opening up the opportunity to be a part of this project to the dancers within their own company. I reached out to:

Tamina Pollack-Paris, The Girls Club
Carla Cartherwood, Army of Sass
Leah Totten, BOSS Dance Company

Lucky for me I actually know each of these smart, strong, talented female Company Directors, and every single one of them acts as a leader and role model to SO many people in this dance community. I wanted reach out to them rather than just ask individual dancers because I think there is something really strong and powerful about groups of women/dancers/people in general coming together and supporting one another. And, of course, being the supportive mentors that they are, they pitched it to their dancers with zero hesitation.

This project, however, would be NOTHING without the girls who took the time to put on their box fit- fire- fierce faces and completely attack this choreo with everything they had in them. THANK YOU ALL for your time, energy, dedication and patience with this project. I sincerely hope you like it and are as proud of it as I am of you all in it.
