Tonight I went to see the ASU Fall Dance Ensemble..

and I watched my best friend, Ali (who has been mentioned on here more than you would probably care to hear), dance for the first time since high school. She was in the first piece and danced me to tears. 

Literally.

I cried like a proud mama.

She just loves it and its so beautiful and so all I know to do is cry.

So there I sat, in the front row, tears rolling down my face, intrigued by the emotion the human body can create not only in dancers, but felt by the audience.

So there is a nice little fact about me, I cry at beauty. 

all. the. time.

and.

my best friend is one of the most talented, incredible people you will ever meet.

and don't you worry...there are pictures to come. my camera decided to die, so no pictures were taken tonight.

good thing I am going again tomorrow night, front and center, and now I know exactly where she is going to be..

such a proud mama bear.

Savannah Dance Festival

For the past year or so, my friend Emma's mom has been working so hard to plan a new festival in Savannah. Emma and her mom are both beautiful dancers (and her mom was also my Spanish teacher in highschool!) and their love for dance has inspired her to start the Savannah Dance Festival.

I am not sure all the details and dates of events, but they do have a few workshops in the spring and more stuff to come of course! So check out their website.

and if you DO happen to go take a peak at their website, don't forget to check out my photograph on the homepage and some more I took for Mrs. Pat this summer in the gallery. I was asked to take the photos of Nina and Emma to help show a connection between dance and other industries. We used planes to portray how dance could be used as advertisement in the aeronautical industry. and if that doesn't sound cool enough for you to look at, just know Emma and Nina are the most stunning models and talented dancers in the world...I may also be a tad biased, but just see for yourself.
