Kujo's Lux Aeterna Dance Company is a living experiment in movement fusion, seamlessly blending the raw aggression of Breaking/Break-Dancing and the powerful grace of Gymnastics, Capoeira, & the Circus Arts with the refined beauty of Ballet & Modern Dance, resulting in a refreshingly new & unique approach to performance art.

Lux Aeterna - "eternal light" in Latin - denotes the very essence of human nature from which our wealth of creativity originates.

INSPIRATIONS:

Pamela Brown:

"To dance is to express oneself. To dance ballet is to use oneself to express something beyond oneself."

Taking this thought as inspiration, Kujo has decided it is not the style of Ballet, per se, that facilitates the ability of the Ballet dancer to express something beyond himself, but rather the intention of the dancer or choreographer. With the proper intention as a starting point, the dancer or choreographer can then use any style of dance (or other movement form) in order to accomplish his lofty goals of, for example, displaying the magnificent beauty and sublime potential of the human being. With this intention in mind, it is equally possible that an unorthodox style of dance, such as Breaking (Break-Dancing), Boogaloo, or House, may be used in facilitating such a goal. While we don't yet claim to have succeeded in expressing something so sublime as to beyond ourselves, this is indeed our creative goal.

Bruce Lee:

"Research your own experiences on the truth. Absorb what is useful. Add what is specifically your own. Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style."

With this philosophy in mind, we have developed an entirely unique and eclectic style of dance, fusing elements of Ballet and Modern Dance, Gymnastics, Capoeira, the Circus Arts, Breaking, Boogaloo, and House, which we refer to alternately as All-Terrain (or Alter-Reign) Dance, Contemporary Acrobatic Dance, Lyrical Breaking, etc. We have taken from each of these established styles what works, discarded what doesn't work, added our own unique ideas, and wound up with something entirely our own.

Bruce Lee:

"If you think a thing impossible, you'll make it impossible."

'Nuff said.
