An Afternoon of Dance

The San Fransisco Ballet Trainees performed at Roble Studio in “An Afternoon of Dance” as part of the collaboration between SF Ballet and Stanford Dance Division.

It was a rare experience to watch such talented dancers up close, hear their stories, see their personalities, and learn about their training: their favorite food, rigorous & packed schedules, dancing to, and choreographing pieces based on music from friends.

Stanfordites were treated to a phenomenal performance by Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company tonight. Covering the event was a most enjoyable experience. After all, dancing and photography are only my two favorite hobbies. :)
