On Photographing Dance!

Dance is an art in itself, and when you capture

it with a camera, that is a representation

of that true art! The key is capturing the

right moment(which sometimes

happens in an instant). Speed, concentration,

and the right camera/lens/flash is

essential in getting a great image

time after time. Of course,

it also helps to know what to expect!

(The above couple is dancing the

Argentean Tango).

There is a dance showcase happening

this weekend in San Jose

put on by Fred Astaire

Dance Studio. It will be at the

Hyatt Lodge on 1740 N. First st.

on Saturday, November 12th at 1:00 p.m.

Tickets are $65 for the whole day,

which also includes dinner. $15 for

afternoon only. Come join the fun!

Fiction perhaps...or non-fiction....

She bent down and put on her dancing shoes...

she straightened up in her chair and said: "Now I've

got optimistic feet!" I asked, "What?" She replied, "Optimistic feet!

When I go dancing I have optimistic feet, I can do anything."
