Runway for the Ballet {2013}

When fashion meets dance, you have a wonderful thing. Enter the Runway for the Ballet, an event benefiting the NC Dance Theatre.

I took over 800 photos, which I narrowed down to right around 100. Since those wouldn’t fit on a single blog post, I made an album on my Facebook page. You can click here to view photos from that album.

I happily accepted an invitation to attend this event, unsure whether or not I’d even know anyone there, though I was ready to go solo either way. As it turns out, my friend Dion was the emcee for the evening, plus I ran into other blog friends at the event.

And here are my two new photographer friends – Daniel and Andrea of Green Valley Photography. They were the official photography company of the evening event.

Dion did a fabulous job as the emcee, and I’m not just saying that because she’s my friend.

I loved the mix of fashion and dancing. The models did a great job playfully sporting their looks. The dancers were so beautiful to watch – I just loved the artistry. I’ll have to check out another show soon! This Contemporary Fusion (click) show looks pretty cool, and it’s in April.

I had already eaten dinner before the event, but I was happy to see the dessert table.

Yum! The fruit tarts, almond tarts, and profiteroles were my favorites of the group.
