Editor’s Note: Step into the shoes of dancers from across the country who dare to imagine what it would look like if their city could dance with KQED’s. Watch a new episode from season two of the video series every week through May 15, 2019.

The city had a funding infrastructure for dance, space to rehearse and perform, and Nick says, “people who were open, willing to support artists and let you in their doors and just explore.

KQED hehe she makes dancing sound like abortion. weird.

KQED Abortion bans are a gov’t-mandated game of Russian Roulette with a million-chamber revolver aiming 400 rounds at the heads, and 600k rounds at the abdomens (C-section) pelvises (episiotomy) & bloodstreams (gestational diabetes) of pregnant women who would’ve chosen safe abortion.

KQED Especially dance? Having a say and control is most important in dance? Ok

KQED RepublicansDontCare GOPTraitors we are over half of the population of voters FlipTheSenate VoteProchoice

KQED American women are so privileged they have to tilt at windmills
