The award winning photo of the audacious Carl Refos for Samadhi Dance Company. It was awesome to receive the Dutch audience award for best dance photo of 2015 at the DeLaMar Theater last spring :-).

Rehearsal photo of the radiant Samadhi Dance Company last Friday, from the ongoing Up Close and Personal series.

Some moments from last week’s performance of Rosegate by Aerial Art and the ever so airy Simone Heitinga at the old sugar factory. 

Maria I/ A From the Archives series. I like the dynamics of the group in general and the sumptuous elegance of the individual dancers in particular. [De KISS Moves dance collective/ dancer: Maria/ during a rehearsal and a performance, Amsterdam, 2013]

Another typical From the Archives series. I like the dynamics of this group. [De KISS Moves dance collective during a rehearsal and a performance, Amsterdam, 2013]

While arranging the digital archives, I come across many photos that are just there. And now some of those are here, just because I like them. Old moves remain the same. Here is a typical From the Archives series. [De KISS Moves dance collective during a rehearsal and a performance, Amsterdam, 2013]

Performance for a special event of the NDS dance troupe with a classical orchestra @ Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. Inspirational location.

Under the Milky Way. Performance of choreography by Meli Kuhn, performed by the Meli Kuhn Dance Ensemble (Amsterdam, 2015). I love the way this choreographer uses alluring dance personalities and give a choreography/performance a very personal aspect. And milk.

Fatform Festival Amsterdam, choreography by Monique Duurvoort performed at old parking garage. I think it's going to be a shopping center.

Hanuman (2015). This photo has just been nominated for Best Dutch Dance Photo of the Year: http://tomorrow.dance I hope it will contribute to showing the importance of dance, whether it is a tango in Buenos Aires, a private dance in the dark or the theatrical dance of Hanuman, the piece by Samadhi Dance. [dancer: the vigorous Carl Refos]

Still moments during a rehearsal with a dance collective from Skopje.

I love doing shoots for dance schools... Whether it's a dance class or a performance shoot for publicity, there is always an obvious love for dance :)
