@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!!

Excellence means more than showing up with the best equipment.
_
As movers ourselves, we feel a deep devotion to the advancement of dance as an art form and bring this passion to every project we take on.
_
We value collaboration, and we serve with kindness, knowing that the best projects are made of joy, not just deliverables.

For the past few years, the interns at @jacobspillow have participated in the #NationalDanceDay campaign from @americandancemovement.
_
It's always a really fun video that shows the great energy and joy that flows through everything the interns bring to the Pillow each summer.
_
This year we added in the community and popped over to film Third Thursday in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Many people that were watching the show ended up learning the #NationalDanceDay dance, and it pretty much turned into a full on dance party! I was dancing through them with my camera!!!
_
Everyday is #NationalDanceDay in my eyes. A celebration of dance as communication, connection, soul, fun, joy and the list goes on.
_
I hope you have a dance party today wherever you are. 💃🏻♥️
