My heart lives in San Francisco: DAMSF

 

Thursday night, was as always a night to remember thanks to DAMSF.

 DAMSF is a night my good friend Paymaneh “Bibi” Khalili created to celebrate the various cutting edge arts around the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

DANCE. ART. MUSIC. STYLE. FASHION.

It happens about every 3 months. All of us artists head out to serve as audiences and entertainers. I’ve performed multiple times at this event and as of recently, been helping running the show. The fact that Bibi is an amazing renaissance woman who works so hard to bring LA nights to Bay makes me proud. Thank you so much for holding this event. It is the ONE night I feel that all of us artists are so encouraging and positive to one another.

A must see: Chapkis Dance Promo Video



HOT DAMN!!!!

My dance family, Chapkis Dance has had a year of change for the better. This video is living proof of it.

If you are not familiar with my background or these people, then please get acquainted.

This is where my heart lives, where I met people that I will call family for the rest of my life. Everyone is such a joy to be around and to add to it their supply of talent is through the fuckin' roof!

My brother and director Greg Chapkis outdid himself with this one and I am so proud of him and how far he and the company have come!

Watching this ignites the passion and love I have for dance. Its has always been there, it only dimmed for awhile because I let third parties affect it.

Welp, NEVER AGAIN!

Proud to be able to claim my team. Love these kids.

Enjoy. Re-watch.

XOXO,

Tia
