Doctor Strange

Costume Debut: June 2024

Irvin started taking ballroom dance lessons again in 2023 after a decade away, and as part of the curriculum, learned to dance the paso doble - a dance he built a profound dislike for.  As part of her quest to create an accord between Irvin and the paso doble, Irvin's partner Yelena hit upon the idea of a Doctor Strange-themed paso - a clever concept, given that the paso doble is all about a matador dancing with his cape.  Irvin proved unable to resist the concept, and so the Doctor Strange paso doble was born, with Irvin in the title role and Yelena as the sentient cape.

While it did not create a love of the paso doble in Irvin, even getting him to perform it counted as a major victory!
