In this extra-long episode, Celtic gets lit with Jazzmine Pike (aka CC99, CC007, and the Cheshire Cat) as they discuss life in quarantine, the guidance of Archie Burnett, an introduction to Ballroom culture, the difference between a Ball and a Kiki, reflecting on patterns and mistakes, dancing the queer Black experience, getting your tens, how there’s no such thing as a death drop, pansexuality, sexual assault and predators in the dance world, dance as a form of protest, normalizing conversations of sexual assault, light skin privilege and decolonization, the Soul Showcase, and unconditional love. Celtic receives multiple gut punches, and ooh baby it hurts so good.
