Dancing Classrooms Philly
Monday, September 1, 2008
Last year I had the privilege of bearing witness to the Dancing Classrooms Philly program—of meeting those who teach and those who dance and those who make it possible. Today's two-minute vlog tells the story briefly, with but a handful of the more than 1,000 photographs that I took over the course of several days. Background music is "Caresse Sur L'Ocean," Bruno Coulais. The words are drawn from an essay I wrote to commemorate the program's launch in Philadelphia.
Thanks to Harvey Kimmel, Jane Brooks, Joyce Burd, and Leslie Swinney Kase for launching the program here in Philadelphia. Thanks to Pierre Dulaine and Yvonne Marceau for conceiving the program in the first place. Their story is brilliantly told in the documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom."
