Wow i would love to see these preformances in person. They look so easy to all the dancers yet i know it takes a whole lot of work and is more complicated than a non-dancer may not see. I feel such strong senses of emotion watching this. Stay Loving & True! ☮☯️🕉
This is absolutely beautiful! Ive never seen dance portrayed in this new way. I especially looked the second dance in this video, very creative uses of the wheel chair dancers and the integration with the other dancers aswell. Keep up the great work! Peace&Love&Light to you all! ☮☯️🕉
Fuck off would you?! This guy was absolutely amazing, and I was equally amazed (if not more) byt the performance of both those amazing dancers. Get out with your toxic mindset, this guy's a better dancer than most of us will ever be, disabled or not.
@@jas_bataille language! Unfortunately he's just carrying/lifting her around . There are no spaces for the subtlety of a disabled dancers movement, or for the power of what a disabled dancer an actually give, it all centres around showing off the non-disabled dancer. The choreography leaves no space at all for him, and I can see he is a very talented and expressive performer,. As a disabled dancer , it has always made me sad to see things like this,. I will not be a crane for non disabled people

Emotionally rich, gorgeous and inspiring! I was moved by each of the dances. I especially saw myself in the last dance and was inspired with ways in which I can better connect with disabled clients so gracefully intimate. Delicious dances. Thank you!
So inspirational and amazing to look at historically. :) Thank you for sharing this video! The founding dancers are so inspirational. They prove that they fully believed in the AXIS mission and they also proved that the mission was worth voicing and developing even more. The founding dancers are also proof that if we believe in ourselves, and build a strong bond with our company members/team, that ANYTHING is possible if we put our soul, heart, and mind into it. :) I LOVE AXIS!!!!!
