Inspiration and fun!

Now that the term is coming to an end I've had a little more time to find some new inspiration. I just wanted to show a few sites I found that I'm incredibly in love with.

The first is called 'Dancers Among Us' in which a photographer took shots of a variety of very talented NY dancers (two are from So You Think You Can Dance!) at NY landmarks among 'average' people. The line of their bodies is gorgeous and I love how random it is.

The other, I don't know how many of you have already discovered it but I just found and can't stop looking at. It is basically an amassed collection of everything delightful. It features several categories and people post and repost images. Pinterest (pinterest.com)

Finally, I wanted to share what I have been spending every weekend this term doing. It is very hard to explain so I prefer to just show a video. We're a collection of kids from 17-22 that come from Eugene, Seattle, California, Salem and Portland plus we have a kid from Germany! We have been rehearsing since October, and rehearse every Friday night and all day Sunday in Portland. OCI is a competitive, non-profit performing arts group (colorguard and drumline). This is OCI's third year, we just got back from a regional in California this last weekend which we took first at! Our next step after a few local competitions will be World Championships in Dayton, Oh in April! Enjoy our production of The Red Shoes. (It's still a work in progress but impressive none the less I think). Oh, and our show is based on the movie/ballet/story about a girl who sells her soul to the Devil for a pair of red shoes that make her dance beautifully but then they take control of her and she can't take them off. Think Black Swan but with Red Shoes.
