Witnessing such a wonderful dancer and teacher as Shirley Ballas working with incredibly talented students was an honor. Perhaps I liked this dance lesson a little more because I didn’t have to hear all the things I’m doing wrong, as normally happens in my weekly lessons at Champions Dance Studio! But seriously, their grace and passion for dance was electrifying. I was asked to be there for only a short while, but I got so caught up in the energy of the moment, I stayed until the end of the lesson.
The dancers were moving fast, and all over the floor, so it was a workout to try to get the shot I was looking for and keep out of their way, but I think I got some great shots, not only of how much care and instruction Shirley Ballas offers, but also of the skill and poise of the dancers.
