Richard Move wears a tight sheer dress of a rich dark blue, with only their face, hands, and feet visible. Their legs are open wide, only the balls of the feet on the floor, and they extend their gripped hands to the left as they dramatically turn their head to the right. Fans of modern dance will recognize that this image is a recreation of the dance solo "Lamentations" by Martha Graham.

Dancer Aylin Bayaz looks directly into the camera as she lifts one arm above her hand, holding onto the golden tasseled bottom fabric of her dress. Her black hair is slicked back. She looks both triumphant and joyful.

Many Acts, But Only One Dance

Flamenco for small cities—in person and in demand. 

Four women gather onstage, three seated and one hovering above, creating a palm-reading tableau together. They wear black-and-gold metallic sarees and ornamental jewelry that adorns the crown of their heads. The dancer whose palm is being read wears a smug smile on her face while her two friends and the palm-reader seem puzzled, hands to their chins in contemplating her fate.
