S.T.A.N.D. Houston Salsa Social

About 6 months ago I signed up for a salsa class and to my surprise it instantly became an addiction, just like photography did. I noticed that when I dance, nothing in the whole wide world matters. All my fears, problems and anxieties just disappear. I have gradually surpassed milestones in the last few months by moving up dance levels but the biggest achievement so far was my successful audition into Salsa Eddy's Student Dance Team. I have had my first two 2-hour practices and it's such an amazing feeling to be apart of a team where people share your same love for dancing. 

Through this journey I have met some really incredible people and last Friday I was honored to photograph the amazing event for S.T.A.N.D. Houston at Houston Dance Factory. This Salsa Social fundraiser was to benefit the Houston Area Women's Center and 100% of proceeds went directly to the organization to help end domestic and sexual violence. I want to give a special thanks to Renee Deynes and Monica Hernandez for organizing this life changing event for those that suffer abuse. 


Not only was this was an incredible night but also a wake up call for me because I realized that I could accomplish my two favorite activities at the same time, photography and dance. Not to mention all for a great, heartfelt cause. Thank you S.T.A.N.D. Houston for having Perfectly Imperfect Designs  photograph and be apart of your fantastic event!
