    my late cousin becky jung was a dancer in pilobolus. regrettably she passed away before I could get to know her super well, but I do remember her very vividly. I’m not quite sure why but this video made me feel very connected to her and this truly touched me. thank you tremendously for recognizing this incredible group of dancers. 💞
