I am fascinated as I watch: Angel Prince creates as she moves. She talks her dancers through the fluid motion of her mind as it is translated through her body. What I see happening is the best likened to the work of a sculptor.How the truly gifted sculptor allows the form to emerge from the stone, simple does the work of peeling off the layers, helping it to find and reveal its shape. For Angel, the dance emerges, quite naturally. Her task, and clearly her gift, is to intuit it. Feel it in the air around her body, how it moves in the music around her ears.

When I first met her, it was easy to understand her as a performer, a dancer and lover of life, but when I saw her work, as an instructor and as choreographer, I was able to understand more fully what makes her tick. It is not just dancing or just teaching, or even just coming up with movements that fit music. It is art. The dynamic business of intuiting form from nebulous matter and bringing to life in physical movement what we might only have been able to sense viscerally. Perhaps the greatest gift she gives to those she teaches is a way to communicate with the body ideas that are truly profound and which might simply be obscured by language. There is no argument in what simply rises in our hearts as we watch the body move and express. It just is. Thus is born the gift to the audience.
