  • “Since connecting with Pones in early 2023, I’ve had the pleasure of working with
    incredibly kind, warm-hearted individuals who naturally come together to cultivate art projects
    and experiences that inspire joy in audience members.

    Pones represents a truly diverse collective as every dancer/collaborator ranges in age,
    abilities, backgrounds, and ethnicities without feeling as though there’s a diversity checklist
    being marked off.


    Every Pones member unites over a shared love of dance and performance. That is the
    only prerequisite thus allowing for each person to shine their light without fear of being rejected
    for any superficial reason or experiencing barriers to access the arts.”

    Camille Jones, Pones Dancer

  • “It wasn’t even my idea! My Dad is the one who suggested a flash mob for our father-daughter dance. When I was considering who to ask to choreograph it for us, the first person I thought of was Kim from Pones. Kim makes dance accessible for every level. She made my Dad and I feel very comfortable throughout the consultation and choreography process, and even provided us with an instructional video to send to our dancers, since we couldn’t get everyone together for a rehearsal. I highly recommend Pones for all of your choreography needs.”
