One last class of Jason McDole's I shot and forgot to make a blog post before I left for NYC.

This was the last actual Dance class I shot at Point Park University for the 2008-2009 year.

Now that I'm back in Pittsburgh from New York City, there are some interesting things about who's in this class. Major was in this class whom I ran into in NYC because he was in one of the companies shot by Lois Greenfield this summer. I must say it is odd when you randomly run into people from back home in other cities, especially when you are helping out on shoots they are part of.

McKenzie was also in this class, Yi-Chun Wu and I shot her in NYC. More about that in a later post, where I will share some of those photos.

Here's a class I forgot to post

This class was mostly made up of seniors. And this was their last class with Doug Bentz while enrolled at Point Park, so this class became quite emotional. Charles Hall got a break from playing for a little while while the class picked some significant songs to warm up to. One of them was Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland. I thought that would be a good song to show these photos with.

Once the dancers get into the groove in Jason's class, they just seem to perk up and have a grand old time dancing.
