Finally posting photos from our closing show at @queer_afro_latin_dance_fest 🐆🤎🖤

We've loved this choreo so much, and this was our final performance of it. There is no better place to close this on out than QALDF 🏳️‍🌈

We set out for this show to be the most extra and bring the most joy it could to honor Kelly, a beautiful soul we lost. We ended up closing this show uplifting our entire community through tough times and we were honored to have that privilege.

Thank you to the dancers for making this show come to life one final time and thank you to @newsparxmedia for capturing these amazing moments 🙏

Seattle 🎡

I’m in disbelief that this trip was over a month and a half ago (take me back!) 🥹

Y’all, I LOOOOOVE being a student and this trip really rejuvenated my soul. Seattle Heels Camp had the absolute best teacher lineup and I was equally inspired by all of the heels baddies.

Hoping to be back sooner than later 💜

What a night ✨ We were so lucky to have @jessgoesdancing pop up at Empress last night, all the way from Seattle!😍 Catching her in the Bay during her trip was such a gift, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the magic she brought to the space. Welcome to the Empress crew, Jess — this isn’t goodbye, it’s see you again soon!
