My very first love was, is, and always will be dance. With that in mind, I decided to pay homage to both the art form and a few of the types of relationships I've experienced over the years.

Dance, to me is the embodiment of emotion -- it is an effective art and can translate the most subtle of sentiments. Love is nuanced. As a word, love is thrown hither and thither with abandon, but do we ever really know what is meant? The only thing that's certain, it seems, is that like dance, love is different every time.
