What a reunion—dancing with @portiafavro again aft What a reunion—dancing with @portiafavro again after a decade. And circling back to the girl group that made it all happen… that heels style dance was first name after… @pussycatdolls!

When I first started dancing decades ago, all I’d do was look for perfection in every move, chastised myself for not nailing the choreo, could barely look at myself in the mirror.

Fingers crossed for more OG PCD at @pinupposse 🙃🤞🏼
