Now, for the first time in its 22-year history, Cleveland DanceSport will see a same-sex couple compete tonight (Friday).
Frank Anthony and Braxton Knowles were encouraged to dance as a same sex couple by famed dance coach Taliat Tarsinov.
Knowles has chosen to follow since he has “pretty feet,” – a dance term that refers to one’s ability to point their toes and glide effortlessly around the floor. The trickiest part of dancing together has been finding a way to effectively rehearse. The pair switches off traveling between Cleveland and Columbus every weekend to spend hours working through their programs. The rehearsals are videotaped, then each partner practices on their own throughout the week until they can work together again.
“Since we are in the beginning stages of seeing same-sex couples on the floor, we are trying to keep our costumes very clean and not too experimental,” Anthony said. “After all, because we are two men dancing together, that can be experimental enough.”
