Black Finesse Modeling Troupe, NCSU

"We stand above the rest; we are Black Finesse."

Black Finesse Modeling Troupe is a group that was founded on the campus of North Carolina State University on May 25, 1994 to promote positive images of African Americans on campus. By using techniques of modeling, Black Finesse is dedicated to increasing its members' poise, personality, and confidence. Membership is open to all regularly enrolled students who have an interest in modeling. Black Finesse participates in various shows and activites on and around campus. 

As a member of Black Finesse, you are not only a model, you are part of a team, a family.  While we bring more to the stage than common runway walking, our simplistic choreographed routines

During this year, Black Finesse will be continuing it's outreach with orginizations both on the campus of North Carolina State University, and at large.
