Hi, I’m Dominic!
These Dances Come From the Porch, the Pulpit, and the Neighborhood.
Before I was a choreographer, I was a Black kid in Akron watching the world — listening, learning, translating silence into stories.
The pulpit taught me rhythm, even before I believed.
And The Block? That taught me presence.
Now I make dance rooted in Urban Midwest Storytelling — performances that feel like memory in motion.
I build work that holds grief, joy, imagination, and history in the same breath. That speaks of living in the in-between: migration and home, faith and doubt, pain and praise.
My choreography isn't just movement — it's testimony.

My creative language
made of weight shifts, porchlights, and gospel chords.

What I can’t always say on stage, I say here.
The stuff that shows up in the studio but doesn’t always make it to the stage.
Reflections, stories, and what it means to be an artist, dad, and Black man in this world.
