  • amazing i love her hand gestures

  • Blakely is a very close family friend and we are all so proud of her!!! :) She is an amazing person!!

  • 123reletive123 what the hell is this you asked? Well this is the most amazing modern dance you will ever see in your life. You're probably too one-dimensional and ignorant to see the beauty and creativity in Martha Graham's work. That's okay, true talent isn't for everyone ;)

  • wth is this

  • New ways to dance to old music. Fucking awesome. A couple of different ragtime pieces here but it just gets crazy at 2:41 when Maple Leaf Rag is being played.

  • omg!We use the second sonng at tap dance when we have to do flap torture!!!!!!!

  • I love 2:13 - 2:38 !
