i founded common knowledge dance in 2026 to support my main obsession—instigating freedom–that deeply felt sense of agency, connection & joy that comes from the spirit and moves the body–through dance & embodied practice.

we dance, choreograph, collaborate, perform, create installation/altars outside of genre, train others in strength & mobility as a personal trainer, & teach.

common knowledge dance is named in loving memory of Javier “common knowledge” “j smoove” Santos, the baddest one on the dance floor,October 1990-February 2025. we pay homage to our countless relatives, human and otherwise, who teach us and continue to pave the way. thank you.
