Moving in the Spirit "Believe in Me": Moving in the Spirit "Believe in Me": Darion Thompson

“Darion has really surprised me, and all of his teachers, as a dancer. He’s like a supernova. Artistically, I think he surprised himself. This year, with the help of amazing technical instructors, he has soared from walking to flying. Because he was so new, the girls in the company were wary of him at first. Now they trust him with their lives. He is there for them when they are flying through the air, and he in turn has had to trust them to lift him up. Dance has also helped Darion process situations in his community. He is so buoyant, so full of hope and determination, that he actually defies gravity. The laws of physics do not apply to Darion.” – Dana Lupton
