I have founded ballet schools, and have been teaching dance for 26 years - I also enjoy a mean two-step - I used to ride a violet motorcycle I called Bet, but sold her to by a motorcycle with a sidecar my kids could ride in -
Yes, coming from a big family, I have gathered a small troop of ankle biters myself – Dorothy, 12, Jon, 11, Katharine, 10, and Christian, 8 – My pride and insanity!!
Growing up, we had a coat closet – but rather than housing coats, it contained shelf after shelf of photo albums – My 4 siblings and I would sooner choose browsing through the albums, than watching TV – There they were…all those people and experiences we learned were “most important” –
My first personal album began in Kindergarten, with a 110 camera – Evolving into dozens of albums that my children are ever “experiencing” - AND finally Biker Ballerina Photography! I get to help everyone document what is “most important”!!!
When I say my family “never left the corvette in the garage”, I mean it – My brother was married in a tree nursery where, shortly after the ceremony, my children, decked in their party dresses, were soon playing in the dirt and woodchips – some of the most memorable and stunning photographs – and moreover – memories of good times had – The kids had a blast with their cousins in the mud, and I was blessed with uninterrupted cocktails and conversation with my siblings!!!!
So – when we get together, out come the corvettes and party dresses - we will catch everything that is beautiful – including the toothless smirk, the 0-60 cry, and, yes, the goo goo marsh we missed cleaning on someone’s cheek!
