Today's #FacultyFriday feature is part-time Modern Dance Instructor LaRodney Freeman. LaRodney has been performing since he was 5 years old, starting out as a thespian. He first began dancing under Anna Ashy as a member of Alief Jazz Ballet here in Houston, Texas. Since then, he has worked under the guidance of many esteemed instructors and choreographers. LaRodney is currently in his 9th season with NobleMotion Dance and his 6th year with HOPESTONE Dance. He also teaches a wide range of classes and ages throughout the Houston area in addition to HBA, and is the Dance Shop Coordinator of Workshop Houston in The Greater Third Ward. "What I find to be the most rewarding in teaching modern dance to the Academy is the ability to foster the creativity of the dancers. In addition to the technique and breathing effectively, self-expression and creativity are among the most important things that I teach. Being able to find your own voice can help dancers navigate in a world of uncertainty. Being able to be yourself in any room, in any studio, provides the dancers with a great level of freedom. To have the capability to adapt in any situation sets the dancers up to for endless possibilities."

"Decade Dance" 2019 was an incredible exclamation-point end to this decade of dance... "Honey, I'm Home" at @cherryhursthouse (in Ripple House by @havelruckprojects ) kicked off the season with guest ballerinas @natisacoolkid and @jac_long from Houston Ballet joining the men of HSD 😁❤️ for dance, tea and a little house tidying, with Bonnie Collins attempting to show and sell the house!? We hit the Hobby Center’s Discovery Season BIG with yet another wall in “ ‘s (a tale of possession)” made of shoeboxes, 3,000 at last count. Original HSD company member @lindseydmcgill moved back just in time to don several pairs of shoes and take over her original role from 2004. We also took this to @matchouston for a weekend run. Closing out 2019 was "5 Pieces of Candy" at @themoodyarts bringing back @shohei.iwahama along with Houston Ballet guests Christopher Gray and @jescollado. 2020 here we come!! photos by @sonya_sellers
