The North Shore Performing Arts Center is a special place.
Under the direction of Marie McDermet, NSPAC, located in Ipswich, Massachusetts, attracts students from numerous surrounding communities due in part to its diverse dance offerings and top notch dance instruction.
The NSPAC dance company participates in several competitions throughout the region. Here are some behind-the-scenes moments, captured at two separate competitions in early 2014.

LOVE LOVE LOVE–what depth and richness & comprehensive enough to let a non-dance person understand a bit of your beautiful world!
Wonderful! Catches the most important part of competitions…the friendships and love these girls have!
You are pretty sneaky there Ms. Kelly. I didn’t even know you were taking all of these, but I should have known. These are amazing photos of the organized chaos we all experience together. I love how you captured the dedication, friendships and, most of all, the happiness the children express. Thanks! These are great memories for us all!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for taking and sharing. It’s amazing to see all that happiness, friendship and dedication.
