“I was going to do the same thing solo just to show everybody that, with a little more practice, that’s how good Dad can do,” he said.Laurence FOURNIER BEAUDRY / Nikolaj SORENSEN Lorance is already planning a redo of their dance. “He’ll be able to go to the dance performances, the baseball games, and be able to play and have those memories with young children, which he didn’t really get because he was in prison,” she said. “I know people are going to be like, Look at this dum-dum taking pictures of his breakfast, but it just proves it’s all new to me,” Lorance said.Īfter years of her dad being a photo on the refrigerator, Tuckett is thrilled her own children can make up for lost time. He posts photos on his Instagram most days of his morning sunrise beach jog or the fresh omelet he made. In the weeks since his release, he’s opened a bank account and wants to purchase a car and secure a job. “You can get more Top Ramen soups with that job,” he said. He chose the role because of its specialized training and higher earning potential, working his way up to 95 cents an hour. In prison, he became certified in Braille transcription by the Library of Congress, working on books for community colleges and preschools. “I’m interested in speaking about how guys can be rehabilitated while doing time,” Lorance said.

Instead, he’s glad to be able to have a medium to talk about issues he cares about, even if he sometimes presses the wrong buttons while trying to figure out the apps. “He’s like, ‘I can read the really mean stuff, and it doesn’t hurt me,’” Tuckett said.

I'm not even dancing, I looked like a robot that needs grease.”īut Lorance didn’t mind. She chose Patrice Rushen’s “Forget Me Nots” because it had simple movements and a slow tempo.Īfter 20 minutes of practice, they recorded the video, and Tuckett posted it. The “WAP” dance was too complicated, the “Fancy Like” one too quick. How would they record it? Where does the music come from? How do they post it? “How much phones can do was shocking and mesmerizing and wild,” Tuckett said.Īs a dance instructor, Tuckett wanted to ensure her dad looked good. “If you get caught doing it, you get more time added to your sentence.” “I chose to not ever touch a smartphone in prison,” he said. While Lorance knew the concept of a social media dance, he didn’t get the logistics. Some WILL embrace their children, grandchildren, and family one again. Some people DESERVE to re-enter society again. “My Dad put in the work everyday, he is unrecognizable from the person he use to be before prison,” she wrote in the video’s caption. Tuckett, 28, knew some people would hate seeing her and her father dancing after the crime he’d committed. Tuckett, who lives in Utah with her husband and two young children, teaches Dirtylicious, a dance fitness class. As he watched the content creator economy grow, he dreamed of one day making funny videos for his family and friends.Īnd most importantly, he knew his daughter loved to dance. Before prison, he loved dancing in clubs and making home videos. While incarcerated, he’d seen news reports about social media trends, listing off the car dance for Drake’s “In My Feelings” and the Ice Bucket Challenge. He knew of TikTok, even though he’d never used the app himself. He was permitted three days of family time before his six-month transitional program began. 5, Lorance was released from California Medical Facility, a state prison.
