In January of 2009, I participated in a Strobist photo shoot at the Go Dance Studio in Austin, Texas and had the pleasure of meeting a whole bunch of talented dancers. The Go Dance studio had beautiful bluish green walls that made the perfect backdrop for my studio portraits. I shot more than a dozen dancers over the course of a few hours and I had a blast.

I have been shooting breakdancers for years, so I was excited to capture that same excitement and sense of motion in a different form of dance. Both groups of dancers are passionate about what they and their love comes through in their body language and expressions express that while in the photos.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the photos.
