We had to cancel both of the photo weekends that were scheduled as there was no way to safely photograph groups without masks and the lack of distancing that would be requited in getting static group shots could not be done safely. In adherence with the current health restrictions, the professional media company who will film and prepare our yearend show for livestream and digital download will be doing professional dance photography throughout the filming sessions to provide “competition style” (i.e. action vs. still or posed) photos.
