“I got the energy to light up the world!” #JerijahWest
I'm claiming that we will be victorious tonight at the @bessieawards. "The dance world's highest honor." 'The Healing Sevens,' by Baba Abdel Salaam is nominated for a 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Production. The production featured @asaseyaa Foundation, Illstyle & Peace Productions and Forces of Nature Dance Theatre (@fon_dance_theatre) . I want my Sister Daaimah Taalib-Din (@dtdancer) who is also nominated for outstanding performer to win also! This is a snippet featuring me dancing in the @bessieawards nominated production 'The Healing Sevens,' by Baba Abdel Salaam. #ForcesofNatureDanceTheatre #FONDT#Abdelrsalaam #JerijahWest #bessieawards2017 #danceawards #BlackExcellence (at BAM)
A clip from our 2016 MTV Pre-Show performance w/ the Chief @Jidenna 8.28.16. It still feels surreal. As always we will represented the Continent of Africa, under the direction of the exceptionally talented @Akosua_asa and @Omari_mizrahi. Special shout out to my fellow dancers. You guys only further enhanced this wonderful opportunity @akosua_asa, @omari_mizrahi @kiiramharper, @mrmarcusallan, @alora_tonielle, @westampersand (me) and last but certainly not least my Partner the MVP as I call her @_pjack_. It was such a pleasure, until next time Tribe! #Jidenna #Humbled #UnSigned #JerijahWest #LittleBitMore #Blessed

Good vibes w/ @insightphil #MarcTheNight #Westampersand #JerijahWest (at Verboten)
In 2011 I witnessed "Terrestrial Wombs," for the first time ever. From that moment on I knew FONDT was where I needed to be. Last night (10.7.16) I had the honor dancing this ballet conceived and choreographed by the incomparable Abdel R. Salaam, for the 1st time. Not to mention that Vaughn and I did the the complete dance proper.Thank you DanceAfrica Dallas, looking forward to a grand closing tonight! #FONDT35 #JerijahWest #DanceAfricaDallas (at Dallas City Performance Hall)
