Dance Against Cancer Fundraiser at City Center

As you may know, I photograph musicians quite often. It is however, a less frequent treat that I have opportunity to photographer dancers.

It was a thrill to experience the performance and rehearsal of the amazing and talented dancers for this year's Dance Against Cancer event. Seeing the artistry of dance from up close at side stage was a massive treat! Watching the dancers warm up and support each other another joy.
