PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – Like many in our area, the military brought De’Vonte Rush to Hampton Roads. His mom spent her career in the Navy, and he moved all over the country before settling here. His mom has also been a big influence on his life’s passion: dance. It was through dance he was able to navigate the ups and downs of life as a military child.
While he appreciates different styles of dance, he pursued ballroom dance in particular and became an instructor. For this week’s I Am Hampton Roads, we caught up with him at Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Virginia Beach where he teaches and shares his love of the art with others.
