@jodyarnhold has become a huge part of my life and business.
_
Back in 2011, when she asked me to film for @danceedlab, I had no idea it would turn into something much greater – because of Jody, I became a lover of dance education, a documentary filmmaker of multiple dance education films, and the list goes on.
_
Dance Education Laboratory and Jody are celebrating 25 years this year. This is a huge accomplishment. // #danceeducation #danceeducatorsofamerica #danceforeverychild

I remember years and years ago I was at @thejoycetheater and saw Taryn Vander Hoop, who was (and still is!) a client of mine.
_
Taryn said, “Nel I have a woman I work with that needs her mini DV tapes digitized. Can you help?” I said, "Yes, of course!"
_
Now, almost 7 years later, a relationship that began with mini DV tapes has turned into the most beautiful partnership.
_
@jodyarnhold is power house. She is gracious and beyond generous. Everyone knows this!!
