Making Magic and Taking Chances with Emily Ames by Luisa Lynch

Kicking off a dance-filled weekend at a salon-style dance show right off of Rock Creek Park is a great way to remember that dance often takes many forms – and lots of those forms don’t take place on proscenium stages with set music to specific choreography. Sometimes, a dance show takes place in a townhouse living room. Sometimes, a dance can actually be a “Choose Your Own Adventure” type of journey for both audience and performer, where music and lighting are decided in the moment, and props are made backstage in a makeshift scene shop.

Jadyn is a gentle breeze that compels blades of grass to sway, nudging crisp dewdrops down from the blades’ tips toward thirsty soil. We interned together at Dance Place in northeast DC before I went full-time. A Dickinson College alum, they were probably one of the only people I knew that could tastefully rock a mullet. A calm, soothing spirit, they handled Dance Place’s constantly energetic kids like an expert kitten-wrangler.
