free-style

We’re five people with totally different dance styles, grew up in different environments, and as individuals, nurturing our own values, sensibilities, and techniques. This piece “free-style” shows acceptance of others and a group working together while respecting uniqueness. Everyone should stick to their own style and believe in their senses. Our shout-out to you; each individual person is “the one and only”.
