Precise, high-energy dancing mirrors the bustle of a big city, all-night diner and the internal landscape of those who work and gather inside. Moreover, Washington’s choreography is past-present-future synthesized across space and time, pulling from dance forms—house, hip hop, vogue, and street—seamlessly. In ALL INCLUSIVE, Washington’s choreography is past-present-future synthesized across space and time, pulling from dance forms—house, hip hop, vogue, and street—seamlessly. Following, The 24/7 Diner is precise, high-energy dancing that mirrors the bustle of a big city, all-night diner and the internal landscape of those who work and gather inside. For both choreographies, tight, continuously evolving formations serve to amplify each dancer’s individual style, personality, and charm.

Created and directed by Courtney “Balenciaga” Washington—founder of the Kiki House of Juicy Couture, a leader of the House of Balenciaga, and Legend in the Ballroom community, who cut her teeth in street-dance competitions—MasterZ at Work Dance Family is a group of extraordinarily talented individuals that come from all different dance backgrounds, including jazz, hip hop, street jazz, house, African, voguing, and contemporary. Members are highly ranked within the dance competition world and, while company members have their own dance goals and accomplishments, the company performs masterpieces together.

ALL INCLUSIVE and The 24/7 Diner were commissioned by Works & Process. ALL INCLUSIVE was developed in Works & Process residencies at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park (2021) and Bethany Arts Community (2022). The 24/7 Diner was made possible, in part, by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and Mellon Foundation. The 24/7 Diner was developed in Works & Process Residencies at Modern Accord Depot (2024), Bethany Arts Community (2025), and The Campus at Marlboro Music (2026).
