    Why in God's name with all the various media th at available don't we see this on national TV? This is amazing, beautiful, meaningful and flat out needed to be seen.
  • Amazing, all dancing requires strength, but this dance emphasizes the strength and toughness of women. I've never seen such a thing before. In almost every other dance form (and I've seen a lot) women hide their phenomenal strength by delicate gracefulness. I love it!

    I love that this performance displays the beauty and grace of women of all body types.

    This should be included in out American History education. I am 74 and never knew this existed and now I look at this dance as recorded 7 years ago and compare to today and I can see that is being lost. I am glad I did not miss it. This is beautiful!
