00:02 - My name is Steven.

00:03 I came out of this shelter here because I joined ballet.

00:06 I've come back to continue that program.

00:08 It's 20 years later.

00:10 I've traveled around the world performing

00:13 and choreographing.

00:14 I was the obvious choice to mentor these kids

00:17 because I was someone who had gone through

00:19 what they're going through.

00:20 - I wanna be a dancer in a ballet.

00:23 - But going through that shelter, there's some trauma.

00:28 - Okay.

00:30 Yeah, I don't see what's like that.

00:31 Okay, let's see.

00:33 - Did you faint?

00:33 - We lost our home because my brother

00:40 was having heart problems.

00:41 We've been from shelter to shelter

00:43 to living in people's houses.

00:45 We, it was crazy life.

00:47 I have a crazy life.

00:48 Can't forget my lucky heart.

00:50 I protect myself to not telling people

00:53 that I live in a shelter.

00:54 If I didn't say that, they would have been like,

00:56 why do you live in a shelter?

00:58 I'm really good at dancing.

00:59 I just need more responsibility overall

01:01 to take care of myself.

01:02 - Everything about Victor reminds me of me,

01:04 but he came from public housing.

01:06 It's hard enough to make it as a dancer,

01:07 but it's even harder coming from our background.

01:10 - There was this one girl, right?

01:11 Bothering him.

01:12 I swung, but the teacher got in the way.

01:14 So like I kind of hit the teacher.

01:15 - Oh my God.

01:16 Working with these kids,

01:17 I've had these realizations about myself

01:19 that I didn't wanna face.

01:20 I wanna make a new dance.

01:22 It'll be the story of going from homelessness

01:24 to not homeless.

01:25 - Do you have any movements that maybe make you think

01:27 about moving between home?

01:28 - Si, si, si.

01:29 (laughing)

01:31 We're doing like this choreography about our backgrounds.

01:34 We're like getting movements into the work.

01:37 - Yeah, that's good.

01:40 What do you think that means?

01:41 - Strong.

01:42 - P-A.

01:44 - J.

01:45 - O-M-G.

01:46 - I want my family to get like up top in the air.

01:49 What is this?

01:51 - It's not like for you.

01:52 I have lights, you don't.

01:53 - I'm black, honey.
