Dance Photos

I like to photograph dance because I can't dance. Like really can't dance. I took a ballet class in college to improve my balance and finesse for climbing with a couple of my guy friends. They were so much better than me and definitely made fun of me to large groups of friends. And tried to deny it by demonstrating how bad I wasn't, but those jumps are hard!  I got over it, it was only a pass/fail class, so I passed, but I am not sure if my climbing improved....

I love take photos of dancers. I love how dance is graceful and athletic and I can very much appreciate how hard it is.  Here are a few of my favorite dance pictures.
