A Perpendicular Expression

I designed a new ballet for ABT Principle Dancer James Whiteside. James wanted the dance to be seductive and had the idea to put the dancers in intimate apparel. I built the costumes to seem like lingerie but with the strength and support to withstand high performance athleticism and partnering work.
