Melvin assured me he would make the costumes and Gloria Darrien helped shape our routine and she had us perform at the social party where these pictures were taken.

Dance is Life. Blessings and thanks to @jeff_newstylehustle for partnering me so beautifully. This is our 1st time dancing together- EVER. A testament to connection, organic movement and emotion.
