On a beautiful brisk and sunny day at the top of the hill at the Paramour Estate in Silverlake, a creative crew of beautiful novice dancers all came out ready to sway for Nike Women, celebrating their latest holiday 2023 drop. The day’s curated dance session focused on the community that the intimate line dancing session of LA’s Stud Country showcased.

Stud Country also known as the “Queer Church of Line Dance” provided an inclusive LGBTQIA+ experience that had outlets in LA and SF with its LA base being the well loved local Club Bahia. Founded by Bailey Salsbury and Sean Monaghan, the class taught two dances, one dance for the singles and another for couples moving sensually in a circle.

After class the group descended to the courtyard where lunch by Sophie Dalah was prepared and served while a portrait studio was set up and ran by celeb photographer Carlos Eric Lopez. A perfect way to get together and start the day with community and cheer.
