The Prancing Elites Project
The Prancing Elites Project
THE PRANCING ELITES PROJECT features an all-male, self-defined African-American gay dance team from Mobile, Alabama. After getting lots of exposure thanks to a favorable tweet from basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, the Prancing Elites got a local talent agent and performed their dance routines, called J-setting, around the country. But when they returned to their hometown and danced in the popular Alabama Semmes Christmas Parade, they became a subject of controversy and continue to face bigotry and discrimination. Despite the rejection, they're committed to keep dancing, performing, and showing the world that they're strong enough to rise above.
