Mično pomično 2015 - Gathering of belly dance groups in Maribor

Premiere of a great dance & music performance created by Dalanda Diallo and Maša Kagao Knez and produced by KUD Baobab.

31. Odprta plesna scena (31st Open Dance Scene)

Choreographed by internationally renowned choreographer Mojca Ussar, this great performance was a pure joy to photograph!

I’m always flabbergasted by the easiness and grace dancers perform their acts, maybe even more when it comes to the pole dancers. Simply amazing! :)

First in my new series of dancers in studio photoshoots features amazing dancer and dance teacher Vanja Kolanovič :)

"Plesni utripi" featured dance schools and groups from Maribor region and it was divided into two nights - some amazing performances there, I really enjoyed it photographing!

My 8th Winter dance school in a row, but this time in a way different.

30. Odprta plesna scena (30th Open Dance Scene)

Third and the last day of the annual 30. Odprta plesna scena (30th Open dance scene) festival brought the dynamic duo of Marina Abib and Beno Novak with their performance "Kup kuncev" (400 rabbits) which was a pure joy to photograph :)

Continuing our fruitful collaboration after last year’s debut, I had a privilege to photograph another gathering of belly dance groups in Maribor titled "Mično pomično".

First part (out of three!) of the summer production of Plesna Izba Maribor featuring their youngest dancers!

Last weekend, I've been very privileged to photograph amazing young dancers from whole Slovenia (plus some foreign guests) with their amazing mentors, during the 30th Winter dance school (30. Zimska plesna šola). Such passion and talent in one place - simply, for a lack of better word, amazing!

Monday, 22/12/2014

Monja Lorenčič and Domen Žugelj, known also under their artistic name Moment, are two great, young and very talented dancers from Slovenia that needed some fresh pics for their portfolio - I was very honoured to work with them on a quick photo shoot last month and am sure will do this again, since all three of us had a great time :)

During this 16 days of Festival Lent, I also shoot some (contemporary) dance performances and theatre for children - find some of those images in this gallery :)
