Antoine Hunter perform Live at 10th Annual G.L.A.D Benefit House of BLUE!

Hey everyone exciting news again,
1st before I say Anything else I wanna give thanks to the creator for creating dance as a part of my gift to share to the world, the angels that give me inspiration, my Mom and family who Cheer me on, my dancers who give trust me as their leader, Zula who give me reason to get up, and Racha who remind me of "Gye Nyame"! And to my friends and fans who push me to my limit!

In few days I will be performing  Live at 10th Annual G.L.A.D Benefit House of BLUE!
 I think this a wonderful ways to support the community - I really hope that i show that we Deaf are one who also believe that nothing is impossible for us. I come from back ground where there was shooting, and low-come family and was told i will never reach my dreams- I refuse to believe that - I believe i will have a a beautiful career , I believe i will have a beautiful family, I believe I will have a beautiful live for it is my Dreams I will not give up !!! I worked hard to train and keep my faith - don't get me wrong there been a few time where i felt i should give up but i woke up again and call to DANCE AGAIN by the grace of GOD I SHALL DANCE!! It an honor to dance with wonderful on the same stage and present my beautiful Deaf people, African American people and the Bay Area wink!


Come support each Dreams and know all things are possible!!
So here what gonna happen!!
