Marina Harss
Lloyd Knight is a tall, muscular Black man here wearing red leggings with silver bands at the calves. He poses against a white backdrop in forced arch, the leg closest to the camera raised in parallel attitude front. His torso arches back, nearly parallel to the ground, as he raises his arms in a purposefully bent third position. His head turns toward the camera with an easy, open smile as he tips off-balance.

Taylor Stanley balances in plié, his working leg extended above ninety degrees to the side. His torso leans toward his standing leg, slightly contracting as he gazes towards his upturned palms, splayed toward his face, elbows bent towards his chest. He wears a tank top, gym shorts, and socks. Kyle Abraham stands at the front of the rehearsal studio, hands on his hips as he watches.

Devon Louis, a shirtless Black man wearing pink-toned leggings, lifts Eran Bugge, a light-skinned, white woman who is barefoot and wearing tights and a pink ombré leotard. Louis' right arm is shaped into a low half circle. Bugge's legs are bent in front and back attitude. The dancers are gazing into each other's eyes.
