At the Dance Discovery Performance at the Muny in July 2013 it had cooled to the lower 90's as sunset approached, but the pavement had been in the sun all day. It was warm, especially in these period outfits. But we generally were able to keep our wits and remember most of the moves in this ambitious dance program. Most of these shots are from my pocket camera rigged to take one picture every 19 seconds and resting atop one of our speakers. A couple are from my other hand held, when I wasn't busy. Here are some of the more interesting, and/or less embarrassing shots. There is a cross post of this album on FaceBook July 2013

IMG_4961: July 2013 The odd timing of my auto-camera catches 3 consecutive shots: Karen and Dan turning left by two hands (then a couple of moves happen) then we turn left by one hand (in the middle of Contra Corners) and then it catches us turning left by two hands prior to "surging" out the men's wall. - with Karen Jackson and Dan Klarmann
