Remember back when I mentioned my favorite traditions a couple years ago? One of them has always been the dance concerts at the University of Maine. This semester’s show was held last weekend, and it was a special one: it was the final performance by a number of my favorite (now graduating) dancers.
It’s amazing how connected you can feel to people you personally don’t know very well. My first dance concert was back when I was in college, and since then I’ve watched student performers grow as their performance styles mature. Quite honestly, the last piece of the night was one of the most emotional works I’d ever seen performed in person. UMaine has incredibly talented dancers.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I brought my camera to both of the performances. I love the diversity of the styles, and each of the thirteen pieces was top-notch.
I can’t wait to see what’s next!
