Soles gone wild

This past weekend was the the last of our dance performances. It was a bitter sweet weekend; we were sad to be done but were having so much fun performing! On Saturday night the dressing rooms were filled with the most energy and excitement that we had had during all of our shows. All the girls were doing each other’s make up and giving the last encouraging words before going onstage. There is such an amazing sisterhood between all of the girls in our Company, and I’m so happy to be a part of it.

All of my girlfriends that dance with me are so beautiful and graceful, I wanted to take some shots of their lovely faces! Here are some photos I took backstage with all the jittery girls.

Dancing, dancing, dancing!

This weekend and next, my fellow dancers and I will be working our little bums off performing five, two-hour-each shows! Today we rehearsed and rehearsed, trying to get every little step, every little movement, perfect. The dances were as magical as can be, telling the stories of the choreographers as well as the dancers. The stage was our canvas, and each movement painted the pictures of hardships and joys each of us has felt.

After an extremely long day/night of dance, we are exhausted, but I thought I’d share a few pictures I took of our rehearsal. The photos don’t even begin to describe the feelings you have as you watch or perform each dance, but here is a little sneak peak!

Capturing photos of dance at just the right moments is so difficult; if you have any secrets or photos to share I’d love it!!
