Body_Traffic_Dance_Sequence

Happy Holidays! As the holiday season officially kicks off with Thanksgiving tomorrow, I thought I’d post this fun sequence I shot a while back. The photos were taken during a studio session with Body Traffic, an LA-based modern dance company co-founded by our friend Lillian Barbeito. I had practically forgotten about the session, but suddenly recalled it while attending a recent sendoff party held in the company’s honor before they were to depart to Israel and Jordan, where they were to tour as official cultural ambassadors to the U.S. It was a huge honor for the company, which has played a big role in revitalizing modern dance in Los Angeles. So I decided to go back and see if anything from the shoot jumped out at me. I was happy to find this nice little sequence of one of their dancers, Guzman Rosado, performing the lead part of the company’s performance, O2Joy, a fun and energetic dance that is always a crowd favorite. I’ve seen it performed live on a number of occasions over the years and always love it.  Be sure to check out their site and try to catch a show if you’re ever in LA.
