Dancer - Choreographer - Teacher
Margaret K. Falcone
My favorite place in the world is at the top of the jump. It is in this moment where I am most content; where everything feels right. My goal as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher is to help others feel like they are at the apex of a jump too, whether they are dancing or not. I strive to remind others of their ability to be curious, be themselves, and be happy through movement.

May You Always Find Goodness (2019)
Choreography by Margaret Falcone in collaboration with dancers
Forgiveness, understanding, reflection, remembering, growth, humility, respect, thoughtfulness, kindness, togetherness, family, support, peace, hope, joy, light and love. This is goodness. This work is a collaboration between the dancers and I to explore, discover, and create a portrait of what goodness means to us. What does it mean to you?

Choreography by Margaret Falcone
