Dancers

I don't know dance. These pictures are of my friends daughter's dance recital. I made over 250 photographs that night. Many many of them are blurry. I always have trouble with low light. Producers seem to always place people on stage ... IN HATS! I fought the camera constantly. Technically, even with my forgiving new Digital Rebel XT, I seem to have trouble.

As for the dance. I see energy, beauty, hard work and joy. I don't know if the dancing is good. Mostly I think I see one good dancer. You may be able to pick her out. I think she's better than the rest.

She's not in the photo with the follow spot. That's the boss and her protege'. I hate these shows, and yet, I wish there were more of them. A season. Like little league. Its seems to me a shame to put all that work, a year's preparation, and in a short night (alright its a long night) POOF! Its over.

We need more opportunity for dance!







I'll add more. There's another dancer I admire in this show.
