> Vo Vera (Angelo Sapienza) began his movement career as a B-boy in the streets of rural Arizona & Germany. Over the last 15+ years he has grown a heart for versatility, having received formal dance training from Arizona State University, MCC and SCC, 2 B.A.’s from ASU, and a RYT-200 Yoga Certificate from SWIHA. Instructor, choreographer, competitor, performance artist and model, his pursuit of so many avenues simultaneously speaks for the devotion and love for his work. He has choreographed and performed with professional dance organizations and groups including Jacob Jonas The Company, EPIK Dance Company and The Sacred G’s. Both Vo and his choreographed works have been on platforms including the NBA pre-game show, the NBA half-time show and festivals and events around the west. Since 2015 he has been Faculty Associate at ASU, as well as Faculty Adjunct at MCCCD. As a dancer and movement artist his influences come from Breaking, Popping, Tutting, the Asana of Yoga, Hand Balancing and Experimental. His passions kneaded into a diverse kind of practice, which led him to cross-pollinate all he had accumulated. The outcome: A fresh and unique presentation of creative, dynamic, intentional movement.
