A glimpse into the journey of Melissa Rector and Jim Bunting who having spent formative years in small town West Virginia were both lead to the city of Philadelphia and the inception of the Koresh Dance Company.

This is our tribute to a place where a coal miner mentality and a relentless work ethic are standard practice.. and to a director in Roni Koresh who recognized our potential, grit and strong resolve enough to give us the start of a career in dance.

Watch as Melissa and Jim show their history through dance in two segments of performance.
