Be The Rhythm, Allison’s 2nd autobiographical explorative real-world performance of life experiences in the dance world; designed to open minds further about the artist’s place in society. JADA dancers have both stretched their skills and are using their abilities to adapt, grow and become new rhythms for a new decade!

This Dance on Film contribution features: Filmmaker, Leslie Rivera, editing this conceptual concert work of 2019-20 footage from American Tap Dance Foundation’s Annual Tap Choreographers Showcase, Something’s AFoot! with freshly minted in-studio compositions creating this step towards a formally staged presentation.

Jaye invites you into her world of Being a Rhythm! This exploratory evening length work-in-progress explicitly exposes the artistic process through the lens of her journey thus far; demonstrating lessons that uphold Einstein’s quote “Dancers are the Athletes of God” and therefore are needed for the sake of humanity and its presence. ‘Be The Rhythm‘ opens possibilities for artistic expressions with excellence and joy as the reward.
