Dancing Classrooms Philly

I'll be down in Philadelphia today, judging and photographing the semi-finals of Dancing Classroom Philly's second season. A program brought to life in New York by the extraordinary ballroom dance team, Pierre Dulaine and Yvonne Marceau, documented in that fab 2005 film "Mad Hot Ballroom," and transplanted to Philadelphia just last fall, Dancing Classrooms is where you want to be if you're looking for kids who are willing to step on a stage and dream.

For kids who stand face to face, and dance.

For kids all busted through with pride.

The flowers will fall from their hair. The glitter will rain down from their faces.

The crowds (and there are crowds) will go absolutely wild.
