Okay so my blog posts are going to be a little out of order because I wanted to share these images with you first!

My good friend Charisse ran away from DC to Atlanta about a year before we did and she’s a wildly talented teacher of Afro-Cuban dance, (and she makes DELICIOUS black-eyed peas, greens and mashed sweet potatoes) and I’m sure if you show up to the D.A.I.R. Project on Thursdays from 7:30-9ish, you’ll definitely have an amazing time. There is a small fee, 12 bucks, but it’s definitely worth it!

I had the opportunity to document her dance classes when she was in DC and jumped for joy when I found out that she is teaching classes in Atlanta and needed to come up for air a little from school (I realized last week I spent on average about 12 hours a day there!), I grabbed my camera and headed out

Here are a few of my favorites:
