The CYPHER @ TU Dance in St. Paul, MN 2/25/12
This past weekend Marjani brought The Cypher to TU Dance in St. Paul, MN and we rocked it! TU Dance, a non-profit professional dance organization, founded and created by Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands; an incredible duet shaking up the dance world in Minnesota and beyond. It's a fantastic space, open, positive, re-affirming, and professional.
With the legwork of performer Alanna Morris, Abdo Sayegh, and Julie Sand, we were able to provide a captivating experience for TU Dance pre-professionals, company members, and visitors varying in age, dance background, even a few who were new TU Dance Open Classes/Workshops!!!
I've experienced TU Dance to be on of the few but necessary organizations offering a powerful mix of quality and access. Directly in alignment with our vision for social justice, cultural organizing, and artistic expression here at LOVE|FORTÉ A COLLECTIVE!

"Ms. Forte brought me to a new place of working in tandem. Every single thing that she did tugged at the strings that make me dance. For instance: we had to have two people in the Cypher, and you could jump in when you saw someone doing some movement that you wanted to get a piece of. I LOVE DOING THAT!...Marjani Forte has me on that NEW shit, that CYPHER.....It makes me excited to think about the possibilities and permutations of what can occurr in the Cypher."- Kenna Cottman/Kenna.Camara: The Cypher is fed by RISK
