I've noticed a lot of new viewers of Dancing Through Memphis! First of all, thank you! Your support, interest, and encouragement means the world! This project is very dear to me, and I wanted to help you get the best out of it! So tonight I took a little time to answer some FAQs!
What is Dancing Through Memphis?
Dancing Through Memphis is a photography project celebrating the beautiful city of Memphis through the art of dance! It is a passion project created to showcase our incredible different dancers as well as our authentic city!
Who is Dancing Through Memphis for?
Dancing Through Memphis is for Memphis Enthusiasts, dancers, and photography lovers! We want to use the art of photography to show the art of dance. We love the campaign Choose 901, and want to take it to Memphians in a different way! We are excited to work with dancers between the ages of 8 and 80, who do anything from hip hop to pointe. We want a wide range of dancers, so if you are a dancer or know a dancer or two, send them our way to DancingThroughMemphis.com! We are so excited to meet ya'll!

How did this idea come about?
Hah! Good question! The beautiful dancer, Tiana Kargbo is one of my friends, and I loved to take photos of her in motion! We had done a few shoots before, but November of last year -what started with just another "hey, can you do that again but look at me this time? AWESOME!" turned into a crazy idea. Some how through a conversation I don't fully remember we created a shell-of-an-idea. "What if we took photos of different dancers all over Memphis?" Through one post I made on my photography page in November, we got a crazy amount of responses from people we didn't even know! That's where it all started. Some website building, brainstorming, scouting, emailing, printing, photographing, meeting, and a huge amount of prayer later we launched Dancing Through Memphis! And that's our story so far!
When does this project end?
Dancing Through Memphis launched March 7th, and sessions will end May 16th! That's not a lot of time from now, so get involved now! Don't wait! :) There are so many places all around Memphis, we want all the dancers who want to get involved!
