DanceLabs was founded in Nov 2001 during the production of Naomi Colb's FreedomToAsk workshop. A student shared how others laughed at his dancing and was coached through a series of movement exercises to explore his self-expression. A week later he showed up at Radiance, an intentional DanceCommunity, jumping for joy appreciating his new found ability to dance freely amongst 150-200 people! In Dec 2001, Dance Labs co-founder, TedKo, took this inspiration of being a "DanceCatalyst" and envisioned Dance Labs on a flight to Taiwan. Chinarut has since taken this vision and manages all aspects of the organization while maintaining a critical focus on fusing experimentation and innovation.
