UP ALL NIGHT invites the viewers to join her exhilaration. The figure’s skirt swathes her extended leg like flower petals envelop a stamen.
With her eyes closed and an unrestrained high kick, the figure risks knocking down the whole dance hall with her vim and vigor.
UP ALL NIGHT was selected as the welcoming art piece to the VIM & VIGOR exhibit at the Arthur Secunda Museum’s  summer exhibit.

UP ALL NIGHT

Eighty hands and feet,
Planting slides, throwing kicks,
Turbo charging beat
Burns this bar made of bricks.

Stained and slick dance boards
Lathered in a dim light,
Pedal to the floor,
We’re ramping up all night.

Flinging salty sweat
From flying hips and hair,
Smoking hot tempos
Send heatwaves through the air.

Hustling in high heels
With a high flaring dress,
Let’s get on the floor
In that hot piping mess.
