Beautiful, inspiring dance video — straight to your inbox.

We work with some of the best artists in New York City and beyond, and I like to share work that moves and inspires me in every email I send. I also share personal stories, video advice about production and marketing, and more.

Thanks for signing up!

During the month of January, we worked with Tyler

During the month of January, we worked with Tyler Ashley, the Marketing Director at @nylivearts, to make short promos for three different shows.

I filmed @kimberlybartosik_daela with my husband @cduggandancephotos. Both of us have always loved her work.

We filmed a rehearsal and run through with two cameras. It was one of those projects where time flew by because we were so in-the-groove filming.

It’s a weird time right now, but I hope this promo video brings a little joy into your life. Movement is healing. Sending love! 💜 // #nylivearts #kimberlybartosik #danceheals

The first for @abbyzandthenewutility, who I have had the pleasure of meeting at @jacobspillow.

Abby’s work is fierce and @ashlibickford on my team filmed one of her showings at the @apap365 to capture the work. I really love this promo video!! Make sure to keep an eye out for the rescheduled show at @nylivearts!! // #nylivearts #abbyzandthenewutility #dancevideo

Have you ever had one of those moments where you j

Have you ever had one of those moments where you just want to pinch yourself?

A few weeks ago we worked on a project that made me feel that way. @jodyarnhold and @annbiddle are two of my favorite people, and they both happen to lead @danceedlab’s Movement Sentence Choir.

We have filmed DEL’s Movement Sentence Choir before, but this year was extra special.

My daughter, Gracie, danced in it with her friends!!! My son, Jack, was there too – he came to watch his big sister do her thing, and follow me around as I filmed. 📸: Cherylynn Lavagnino // #danceforeverychild #danceeducation #danceeducator #92streety

Live-streaming an event this important is a HUGE honor.

You already know that I am a passionate advocate for dance education, and NSP regularly works with @danceedlab.

My favorite part about this year’s Movement Sentence Choir was that there were over 60 people who we filmed dancing for over 5 hours!!! Creating, moving, collaborating, DANCING.

If everyone could do this, can you imagine our world? Democracy in action. This livestream is just a little taste. Watch it at the link in bio!

We’re going on 10 magical summers at @vaildancef

We’re going on 10 magical summers at @vaildancefest!

If you’re on my email list, you know how special this time is for me, my team and pretty much every single person involved!

We create a fun 30-second commercial to promote the Vail Dance Festival every year.

The commercial is featured across all social media channels, on their website, and it plays on the big screen before every show during the summer.

The footage we pull is from the previous year’s performances, and our main goal is to show variety.

This is easy to do, because Vail’s line-up is always so versatile.

We create SO much content every summer at Vail Dance Festival that we are sharing a few additional videos we loved creating in 2019. Link in bio to watch!!! // #vaildance #balletvideo #dancevideography

So excited for @vaildancefest this summer, and eve

So excited for @vaildancefest this summer, and even more thrilled for @calvinroyaliii who was named this year’s artist in residence!! So well-deserved! 💜

Hope to see you this summer in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains!!

This company has a warm place in my heart. I am always moved by their dancing.
_
My husband, @cduggandancephotos, and I just returned from Kalamazoo, MI where we filmed 2 pieces for @dancetheatreofharlem at @miller_high_life_theatre.
_
It’s a very special feeling when a client is so comfortable working with you and trusts you enough to consider you for a project in a different state.
_
What we filmed over the weekend was absolutely incredible!!!
_
Working alongside my husband filming gorgeous dance... what could be better!?

PS: I learned three things in Kalamazoo:
1. It’s FREEZING!!
2. The bbq at @dickeysbarbecuepit is amazing.
3. Dr. Seuss lives there (or so my son, Jack says... 😂)

My daughter, Gracie, LOVED Bill Irwin as Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street growing up, so when NSP had the opportunity to film Bill and @tilerpeck’s collaboration at @vaildancefest, my entire family was excited!!!

Last fall, @caro__hai and I had the pleasure of fi

Last fall, @caro__hai and I had the pleasure of filming @abraham.in.motion at @thejoycetheater.
_
Before the performance, I was in touch with @yourehillaryous, A.I.M’s General Manager, to plan out how to capture the performance in the best way possible.
_
@kyleabrahamofficial and his team are clear to communicate and know exactly what they want, so working with them feels efficient and productive. We really enjoy working with them!!!
_
When we watched dress rehearsal, I noticed that Kyle’s 9 person choir (which was INCREDIBLE, by the way!!!) weren’t lit enough – it was pretty dark on stage, but I knew it was important to capture their performance just as much as it was to capture the dancers.
_
I spoke to Kyle about it, he spoke to the lighting director, and they bumped up the lights. Clear communication is key!!! 🔑
_
I’m always impressed with Abraham.In.Motion, and this show did not disappoint.

“What I’m explaining is how everywhere I go, I have a soundtrack for how that place sounds to me.

For South Memphis, where I was raised, that sound to me was DJ Zirk. That’s what South Memphis sounds like to me, so Caroline Shaw vocalized that sound and more.”
