dolphin-dance.org presents: Trio-Corkscrew

A young male Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (stenella frontalis) joins two human dancers - Kathleen Fisher and Chisa Hidaka - and leads them in a 'corkscrew'. We are working on a film about communication between humans and wild dolphins through dance. If you would like to find out more or make a donation to support the film, please visit http://www.dolphin-dance.org

Video and editing by Benjamin Harley; music by Morgan Fisher

If you would like to support the production of a full length dance film and documentary, please visit our Donate page (http://dolphin-dance.org/​dolphin-dance/​Donate.html). Donations of $50 or more will receive a DVD of our debut film, 'Together' and our heartfelt thanks.

Dolphin Dance Project works only with wild dolphins. Dolphins are not rewarded or coerced by anything other than their own curiosity and joy to interact with intelligent, playful members of another species - just like the human dancer. Recognizing that we are guests in the dolphins' environment, the filmmakers followed a strict code of etiquette. There is never any attempt to interact if dolphins were resting or showed any sign of annoyance or disinterest.
