Philip and Elise met me in the park to take some photos (the ones on this post are from that shoot).  My favorite place in the park to take pictures is actually right in front of the public restrooms; I know that is so gross, but the facade is made of limestone and these really beautiful black painted metal bars.  I kind of already knew that you are not supposed to climb up on them, but as you can tell from the pictures I decided that it would be a-ok to climb right on up!
I would say we were there for five minutes before a park security guy came over to yell at us, NO CLIMBING!  We were in some troubs!  I very quickly got Elise and Philip to come down and reassured the guard that we would no longer climb the bars and would just take our pictures on the ground.  I guess I cannot blame him, but he stood there for at least fifteen minutes to make sure no one climbed back up.  I am sure you can see where this is heading. As soon as he was out of sight, we quickly got some shots up on the bars and got out of there!  Can you imagine if I had ended up being arrested?  Thankfully I at least know who my first phone call would have been to (shoutout to G, who I will introduce to you all later on in the blog)  
Anyway, all in all we had a great time in the park, and with much relief I can say neither myself or my dancers ended up in the slammer yesterday.  Phew!  We have rehearsal on Sunday again, in the morning this time, so look out for a new blog coming soon after and as always, feel free to e-mail me at emilybufferd@danceruniverse.com.  And do not forget about our performance coming up on September 20th at Dance New Amsterdam!
