DJ, Earnest Mazique, mixes music in the foreground of the image while dancers can be seen in the background over his shoulder.
Dancers in white outfits with blue embroidery defy gravity in a physical feat of leaning diagonally against nothing.
Dancers in white outfits with blue embroidery stand in a circle with an arm raised to the sky. They face the audience. They are saying goodbye.
Dancers are basked in purple light, emotion ripe on their faces as they cross one wrist over the other and bend their knees.
Dancers stand in a diagonal basked in purple light, they writhe with emotion.
Cloaked in darkness, standing against a dimmed light, dancers are lined up as some move in and out of the diagonal they are standing in.
Amid a crowd of dancers crouched down, one dancer stands against the crowd crouching with their leg extended toward the side.
Dancers begin their dance in a circle with their arms outstretched toward the audience.
Dancers in neutral outfits stand in circle with one leg extended behind them. They are watching their coats float above their heads.
MC, Aysha Upchurch, points at the camera while dancers move behind her.
