Dance Photography: NCDT’s Nutcracker 2010

By fotoRecord On December 10, 2010 2 Comments

One of the many great traditions of this time of year is the annual performance of The Nutcracker.

Charlotte is blessed with an incredible dance company and the North Carolina Dance Theatre’s performances never disappoint.

This year was a bit unique as I had a chance to photograph portions of dress rehearsals over two days with different dancers assuming some of the lead roles. One thing this called to light was NCDT’s abundance of talent as different dancers seamlessly stepped into new parts.

There are numerous performances from Dec. 10-12 & Dec. 17-19 with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.

It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Fotorecord is the online journal for Christopher Record Photography.
This blog is mostly about photography. Couples looking for someone to document their wedding with emotional images full of love and laughter have come to the right place.
We like pictures that tell stories. Photography that doesn’t intrude on your day. Images that stand the test of time.
After spending many years working as a newspaper photojournalist covering everything from hurricanes to athletes, presidents and celebrities, I decided to shift gears, go to work for myself, and focus on documenting some incredible weddings. We also do some corporate and editorial photography.
My wife Betsy is my best friend and business partner. I hope you will get to know me, my family and share some of our adventures as I talk about sports, life and, of course, photography.
