New to Seattle, a dancer seeks to connect with the current street and club dance community. Interviewing two community leaders in the Seattle dance scene–Orb and Tracey Wong–about their history, dance journey, and connection to music we gain more insight on what motivates them individually and collectively. In unpacking the energetic layer of body-to-sound, we discover what binds participants to the practice of social dancing and its collective spaces of justices. Through freestyle and improvisation, a conversation begins and extends as they brainstorm through steps, rhythms, and words how to feel in the vibe.
