		<description><![CDATA[ Aerialists are the performers who truly defy gravity and fly.  Of course they use a number of props to do so.  And, they have to be incredibly strong. At the end of this post is a gallery of images I took at an Aerial Dance Intensive at Boston University. But first I want to call [...]]]></description>

Inside is a Middle Eastern restaurant, <a title="Click to go to the web site" href="http://www.bybloslounge.com/">Byblos</a>, with a spacious and exotic ambience.

The lighting is much too dark for my camera so I had to resort to using flash when I wanted to photograph the incomparable <a title="Click to go to the web site" href="http://daughtersofrhea.com/melina.htm">Melina</a> dancing with the <a title="Click to go to the web site" href="http://www.edmelikianensemble.com/">Ed Melikan Ensemble</a>.

I bounced the flash up and behind me using the <a title="Click to go to the web site" href="http://www.spinlight360.com/">Spinlight 360</a> with a black card.  That way I hoped the popping flash wouldn't directly hit anyone in the eyes - not to mention indirect flash would provide a more flattering light to the dancer.]]></description>

The new Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport is a gem.  Its glass wall overlooking the ocean makes performances feel enchanted. (If you don&#8217;t already, [...]]]></description>

I photographed these talented performers from the Flying Poodles Big Sexy Circus at the Amsterdam Bar in St. Paul, MN. on April 25, 2013.

The show was very funny and the audience had a great time.

And the skill level of the performers - in aerials, acrobatics, hooping, and dancing - was impressive.]]></description>
