Today on 4dancers we have Brittany Delany with us…
1. How did you become involved in dance?
I became involved in dance at an early age. I loved music and dancing to radio and records. I enrolled in a local studio to learn ballet, tap and jazz but gave it up shortly after for town sports. Then in high school and college, I became more involved with choreography, improvisational dance forms, world dance forms, dance history, and performing/training in multiple dance styles. My parents understand my passion for dance, and I am ever grateful for their support and love.
2. What are you currently doing in the field?
I write as the Dance Editor at Hot Stepz Magazine and I train in hip hop dance with De La Femme, the all-female hip hop company of Funkanometry SF. I collaborate with modern dancers and support the performing arts as much as possible. I am wrapping up an internship in January with CounterPULSE, a radical, supportive, dynamic, flexible performing arts space in San Francisco.
3. Can you share a special moment from your career?
A special moment would be dancing outside with my mentor Pedro Alejandro in New Haven, CT at the Festival for Art & Ideas. I felt so blessed.
4. What advice would you offer other dancers?
Keep pushing the form of dance and support fellow dancers.
