Just saw this PBS show of Water Flowing Together. I was just amazed by the beautiful skill Jock has created. Very touching ending at the end knowing he would never dance on stage again. Bravo-Jock!

Jock Soto is from Chinle, AZ and PR. He's a great role model for Dine - Navajos and gay youths. Out on the rez, its rare to see a gem among the dusty landscape and red rocks pointing up.... Great job Jock Soto.

He is a dancer engaged on so many levels, more than I've ever seen. He is dancing right out of the earth and bringing the air with him as he moves, making the music ring out with each step and gesture.
