This image depicts a woman dancing unapologetically on the street in Jingletown, a neighborhood in Oakland. She has a swagger and is moving to a beat. This work is a nod to the nostalgia of an old era in Oakland where urban life included dancing, live performances on the street, and self-expression. a release from the stresses of urban life.
