Quotes

It would be hard to find someone more beautiful than Ryan Heffington. He's like one of those people that everyone agrees on. We may all be different, but we share a common bond. We all think Ryan is hot! He is a self-professed Tranimal - which is a cross between a tranny and an animal - tranimal. Tranimals are rare and found in the cities and in the wild but rarely in the country. I love Ryan ad he really made "The Sensuous Woman" experience special for me. My favorite thing was watching him dance every night as Dirty Diana. He this move where he would make an ass house - like lifted his butt up from the ground and it was like an ass teepee. That is where we all want to live. I love Ryan Heffington.

The mixture between traditional country dance like elements mixed with a very modern and abstract approach would be strikingly enough, but the moves are exercised so sensually that you can almost feel the intimate touches of the dancers, filling the air with a certain kind of "dirty dancing" atmosphere.

To top it off, the final dance performance enchanted us with what you would have to call a modern, again "dirty dancing" version of a country-style line dance. This would already be a pretty awesome mix, but by wearing Venetian Carnival masks, the whole performance gained almost sort of an other-worldy character.

After this enchanting night, we are all too curious what kind of projects he is holding for us in the future.

I've said this many times before, Ryan Heffington is a creative genius. He manages to surprise me every time I see one of his dances. This past Wednesday proved no different. The premier of "Brother" on the roof of eighteen-thirty was incredible.

From baby-doll dresses and neo-showgirl outfits (plenty of nude-look netting tweaked with feathers, sequins and faux animal prints) to exposed zippers, cocky chapeaux and shredded satins, Heffington’s designs ooze cool.
