Lauren Joy Herley of Pippin the Musical and Cirque Éloize introducing my new series of images titled, "Dancers After Dark".

I am interested in volunteers, both men and women, dancers and circus performers, who are up for a late night adventure. Please email me at [email protected].

Thank you to rock star photographer (literally) Dave Berman for the beautiful black & white conversions.

Acrobats Jason Mejias and Eric Gorsuch took a bad fall just minutes before we got this shot. The fact that they did it again (in the rain, no less) speaks volumes about their tenacity and grit. #circusamongus

Yesterday, @NYCDA participant Alice Ruth Ward needed a water park to cool off. Today she’ll need an ice machine. #dancersamongus

As joyful as my earlier photo of Katherien Broug appears, it wasn’t without risk. Wall Street drivers can be in a big hurry to get home. Fortunately, she told me right away, “I like risky things.” One day she may regret having said that to me! #dancersamongus

After her workshop with @therockettes and a victorious game of one-on-one, it was time for ballerina #MadelineUngs to begin the long journey back to Des Moines, Iowa. I hope they have extra leg room on the bus. #dancersamongus

Madeline Ungs finished an intense workshop with @TheRockettes Friday and she needed a little one-on-one in Washington Heights to burn off some steam. #dancersamongus

It’s almost time for the Gay Pride Parade in NYC - one of the summer’s most exciting events. This year the gay community has more to celebrate than usual, but there’s still a long way to go. #dancersamongus

It’s a beautiful weekend for the beach. If the ocean is still too cold, just levitate above the water like #EmilyBromberg. #dancersamongus

School is out for EVERYONE! Here's how some second graders feel about it.

Another post from what has coincidentally become a series of blonde dancers bending backwards, this is Brazilian dancer Priscila Zortea in Washington Heights, NYC. Priscila jumped only 10 times over the course of four minutes to get this shot - possibly one of my quickest shoots ever! #dancersamongus

Seriously, I get paid for this. #DancerAmongUs and #StepsonBroadway instructor Jennifer Knox this afternoon in NYC. #dancersamongus

If you’re struggling to get back to work today, at least travel in style! @PippinMusical stars (and real-life couple) Kelsey and Preston Jamieson on their way to rehearsal. #circusamongus

Cornelia celebrated the first official day of summer yesterday with an awesome aerial. When she told me she could do this, I didn’t believe her because this little girl is only EIGHT YEARS OLD! So much for age discrimination! #dancersamongus

Tomorrow is the first day of summer, the season that reminds us all of the joys of childhood! #RhythmicGymnast Evgeniya Chernukhina climbing a tree in her own unique way. #circusamongus

My daughter Salish and 12-year-old Ashley jumped a remarkable 71 times in 50 minutes to get this shot! Unbelievable patience and skill! (Amazingly, Salish never dropped her bunny and we only stopped because she was about to pee in her pants.) #dancersamongus
