I Had a Ball

Originally conceived for stage, I Had A Ball translates with great charm to its newfound setting. An homage to both musicals and the athleticism of dance and tennis alike, this short dance film is brimming with energy.

Two dancers wear beige colored outfits. One dancer hangs on the shoulders of the other in a hug, her legs just touching the ground behind her. She wears blue makeup in a line across her eyes. There are snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Out of the Dust

A dancer wearing every day street clothes and sneakers spins in the air, their jacket twirling behind them. The sun shines into the camera, creating a star-shaped flare. A metal railing obstructs the view of their feet in the foreground.

Macio

Male ballet dancer Joseph Walsh poses at a ballet barre. He leans, hanging onto the barre with one hand, and looks downwards. He wears a baggy beige t-shirt, silver tights, and light beige ballet shoes.

Autumn Etude

A group of nicely dressed high school-college age dancers pose for the camera with wide smiles. They all point a foot in front or behind themselves, and their arms are all up, pointed in front of them, or around each others' backs.

Kindred Spirits

A blurred image of a tuxedo-wearing Asian dancer moving through a tunnel with light blue walls. The image feels unbalanced and the dancer glances at the camera with his mouth slightly open.
