About Me:

De Vine - Dancer from "The Loft" @ 99 Prince street, Paradise Garage & Ozone Layer NY. Experiences which opened opportunity for me to learn from dancers whose floor moves were influenced by the foot work styles of Motown and James Brown - to the fluidity of The Hustle, floor moves from early break dance hip-hop, not to mention an eclectic mix of psychedelic jazz, Afro-Latin and modern dance....and what fun we had!

Your unique dance moves became that of your inner spirit. The music driving you to unlock & become one...so many talented styles from martial artists, comedic, tap, gymnastics...the diversity of influences went on and on. Complementing, synchronizing, flowing...I'm blessed to still be bringing it.

We transform with the aid of the music into "light" beings. So my style is fluid, circular, continuous, yet in and out of the syncopation , tumbling, cartwheeling - inspired and on point with the music - all of it.- ....YES, Its a beautiful thing!

I hope to inspire the relevance of dance movement in support of longevity and optimal well-being for all ages. ~De Vine dancer
