Nicky Daniels

In order to dance, I have to feel first. I allow my insides to be worn outwards, a blueprint that leads my whole self through whatever reality I am in contact with. Connecting to a world that does not bind the ordinary, but reaches an outlet of expression through a genderless skin of mine. Dancing for me gives me a space to accept all the broken, damaged, loving, dirty and tasteful parts of my identity. It teaches me everyday my desires, weaknesses, and exposes my most honest self. – Nicky
