The Dance.

I am such a slacker blogger!!! My apologies. Apparently, the busier I get, the more incredible client sessions I have, the harder it is to just sit down and type. Who knew?! :)

So you remember the Lindy Hoppers, Mikey and Nikki? Well, Nikki and her husband also dance together, and have been on a whirlwind cross-country tour of competitions, exhibits, and workshops. Nikki and Shesha own the Atomic Ballroom in Irvine- Orange County's premiere swing dance location, offering events, dances, lessons, and general awesomeness. Nikki and Shesha are both U.S. and World Champions in different styles and categories, and it has been such a pleasure to watch them do their thing. I'm brand new to the swing dance world, and I gotta tell you- it's UNBELIEVABLE. The style, the grace, the strength, the authenticity to the period. And these guys do it on the highest level. If you EVER have a chance to see them or pay a visit to the Atomic Ballroom, don't hesitate. (P.S.- If you're getting married, this is THE place to come for 'first dance' lessons. You'll KILL it at the reception!)

Nikki and Shesha came totally prepared- that's what I love about sessions with dancers. They prepare for performances down to the smallest detail, so they bring that same preparation to their photoshoot. It makes it so easy! These two know what they're doing, and it shows. Thank you, Nikki and Shesha, for being so incredibly prepared, so incredibly kind, and so incredibly fun to work with. Can't wait to do it again!!!
