Dia de los Vivos, choreographed by Julianna Rubio Slager

In Slager’s own words, “Día de Los Vivos is a tribute to the men and women that fight [depression] each day to stay on this planet. It is a love letter to those who choose to fight the good fight, who choose to believe in hope; to honor all of those who choose to stay.”
