DANCE DANCE DANCE!

I spent basically all of last weekend in a darkened auditorium (not an unusual place for me), photographing the spring recitals of the Westport Academy of Dance. Now, dance has never really been my "thing" - I was not one of those little girls that begged her mother to take ballet and yearned for my own pair of ballet slippers - in fact, my mother begged ME to take dance classes. Alas, it was not for me - too "girly", or so little tomboy me thought.

That being said, I LOVE to watch these young women do their stuff - I completely admire the skill, dedication and discipline of fine dancers, of which there are many at the Academy. And, I love to capture them on "film" - pretty bodies in pretty motion in pretty light - what's better?

Here are some shots from last weekend...









Love these little faces, taken backstage at the younger girls' recital...
