Courtney Spears is a former dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and currently the director of the Bahamas-based dance organization ArtSea Dance.

Hope Boykin, a petite, curvy Black woman with a shaved head, gives the camera a mischievous, close-mouthed smile. Her palms are pressed together with her fingertips resting against her lips; her elbows are propped on her knees as she leans forward where she sits, arches popping against the floor. She wars white trousers and a denim button-down with the sleeves rolled to her elbows.
