When people ask me “how long you’ve been dancing?”
THIS long! 😂👑

Young gentleman right there. Always in “shadow position.” Instilled in the foundation of ballroom fundamentals is the idea of always presenting your lady. She shines you shine, both a reflection of each others greatness and support. I say it often, very few activities out there promote comradery and teamwork between a boy and a girl as a single competing creative unit. We tend to separate them in competition and through other institutions of growth and then wonder why there’s such a disconnect or inability for healthy interaction and communication between the two. I grew up sharing my creative space, my successes and failures alike with a girl, an adolescent girl, a young woman, to a woman. Don’t get me wrong I’m not preaching here just sharing my pride that amongst all the beautiful gifts ballroom/latin dance has given me was the opportunity to share my life with some incredible and powerful women. I’ve grown I’ve learned and I’ve succeeded because of their influence. It’s not international women’s day, but shoutout to all the women out there going through stuff. You don’t need no man, but if you ever want to enjoy a dip or two, I always got you!!!
